Agree with you about the element of mockery and stereotyping but at this point I'm willing to forgive driving the story towards the extreme end of the spectrum as long as the story gets told. As I've said before, Appalachians are our country's invisible people -- those best not seen nor heard unless they're the subjects of the latest mockery of a reality show or playing the last of America's ethnic fools.
Could you tell me a bit more about Sharfstein's The Invisible Line?
