Thank ye kindly for ye labor, stranger.

I shoulda figured as much when, in the reviews, they hovered over the fact that he calls his grandmother "mawmaw" or whatever like it makes him some part of a backwoods secret society. Just more creepy simultaneous "salt of the earth" fetishization and dismissal.

I second your The Unwinding recommendation.
