Crapalachia: A Biography of a Place by Scott McClanahan

4.0

Really unique, touching, and funny writing. He uses a combination of memoir and mythologization to write about his past growing up in West Virginia.The concept of writing about something to make sure that places, memories and faces don't fade really resonated, and the unique writing style kept it from being at all schlocky, overwrought or anything but completely its own thing. Can't wait to read more by him.
