Review: WELCOME TO SUGARVILLE by J. J. Haas
Wow! Sugarville, GA, is such an adorable small town--except when it's not, which is at the conclusion of each story. A suburb of Greater Atlanta (though I wondered throughout if this fictional community might be founded in one or more of the 19th century towns and villages sprinkled in all directions around Atlanta, formed decades before the City grew into the oversized metropolis it is in this early 21st century), Sugarville is a quiet community of folks living the good life (or not), peaceably (or not). As "a novel told in short stories," this format gives the author ample opportunity to introduce numerous characters and unusual situations, even including some futuristic commentary. I was enraptured throughout, and very impressed. More, Mr. Haas, please.
