Barbara Kingsolver
“She heard it from her friend Sax's cousin that lived in Northern Virginia. Kids up there evidently had brains coming out of their ears, to the extent of needing to meet up with other kids for brain-to-brain combat.”
Barbara Kingsolver, Demon Copperhead

“Appalachia is often portrayed as a place separate and apart from the rest of America. Among other things, this allows Americans to absolve themselves of any accountability or relation. But Appalachia is America, even if those who live outside the region do not want to admit it.”
Charles B. Keeney, The Road to Blair Mountain: Saving a Mine Wars Battlefield from King Coal
