Description
The myopic lens of a small, Appalachian town allows Pete Kosky to thoroughly depict life in the Quiet Zone; an area rich with generational baggage, familial ties, and deep-rooted culture. Taylor’s Land lays out a spider web of characters all connected to a determined Jolly, a former park ranger still grieving the loss of his son as he navigates shifting allegiances, unshakable traumas, and an uncertain future. The movement of the seasons reflects the slow, cyclical emotional patterns of Jolly as he attempts to solve the mystery of his niece’s assault and the consequences that echo within his family legacy. This novella asks the question, would you take justice into your own hands?
