Reading Kurt Vonneguts Breakfast of Champions right now and found this quote. Those of you involved in Mountain Justice will especially appreciate it. The book was published in 1972 and is written as if from the future: The surface of [West Virginia] had been demolished by men and machinery and explosives in order to make it yield up its coal. The coal was mostly gone now. It had been turned into heat. The surface of West Virginia, with its coal and trees and topsoil gone, was rearranging what was left of itself in conformity with the laws of gravity. It was collapsing into all the holes which had been dug into it. Its mountains, which had once found it easy to stand by themselves, were sliding into valleys now.
