A review by abigailcooper
Crapalachia: A Biography of a Place by Scott McClanahan

challenging emotional hopeful reflective sad fast-paced

4.5

“It was enough that the river was a river and the mountain was a mountain and inside of them were mountains too.” 

same vibes as “you can take the person out of appalachia but you can’t take appalachia out of the person.”

i genuinely could not put this book down. it’s so surreal reading and knowing exactly what the author is talking about—the exact places you’ve been a thousand times.
