Viewed from above, Overland, California is a patchwork community of red-roofed houses and bucolic sheep meadows. The town, it transpires, is more involved in the war than it would have us believe. Overland is printed in the landscape format with the spine at the top, so that you read it as you might leaf through a flip-book. Maybe every town is a shell waiting to be furnished; every fiction a fake until we consent to meet it halfway. The fields are felt and the taps don’t work and the perfect little cabin commands a view of tarpaulin.
