Scorpion Ranch |
2011 |
T.C. Boyle |
N/A |
This entry covers T.C. Boyle’s standalone novella Scorpion Ranch, published in 2011. Set on a remote Channel Island off the coast of California, it explores the dynamics of a small group of people in an isolated natural landscape.
The novella format suited Boyle well here, giving him room to develop the setting and characters without the sprawl of a full novel. Readers familiar with When the Killing’s Done, his novel from the same year that is also set on the Channel Islands, will find interesting parallels.
