The End of Vandalism |
A very funny, quietly told tale of daily lives in fictional 'Goose County' in the US mid-west. There's a nostalgic, almost cosy feel to the pre-internet small town/rural-farm setting, and an intimate and chatty style, but plenty of drama and a lot of sadness too. Drury zooms in on one couple in particular, but we meet many other characters in passing and he sums them up with great understanding and just the right turn of phrase.
