Consider a common item of husbandry: the salt lick.  Name a rural town after it.  Put in authority a megalomaniacal mayor.  Populate it with foothills people bent to do his bidding.  Set in the Cascades, Salt Lick shakes and burns as their lives  carom from the orderly to the boundaries of control and beyond.  Whether Salt Lick’s citizens survive the resulting mayhem brews a black comedy part David Lynch’s Twin Peaks, part Russell Banks’ Trailer Park.
