Books in the Contiguous Zone: Cemetery tourism is almost a sport among the literati. Bibliophiles score goals when they find the graves of favorite authors or the characters who inspired their novels. Rev. Anson Dodge inspired The Beloved Invader. He lost his first wife on a honeymoon in India, sought out a new life on St. Simon's Island, married again, sired and then lost his only son in a tragic accident. How many goals scored here? Five. The reverend, his two wives, his three-year old son, and Eugenia Price herself. The book? Brought here by literary pilgrims. Christ Church Cemetery. [2009]
