In this day and age, it’s hard to imagine any element of American life that remains untouched by popular culture. But Karen Valby, senior writer at Entertainment Weekly, discovered the tiny town of Utopia tucked away in the Texas Hill Country. There are no movie theaters for sixty miles in any direction, no book or music stores. Valby follows the lives of four Utopians—Ralph, the retired owner of the general store; Kathy, the popular waitress; Colter, the son of a cowboy with the soul of a hipster; and Kelli, an aspiring rock star and one of the only black people in town.
Utopia is the kind of place we still think of as the “real America,” but its dramatic stories show us that no town, no matter how small and isolated, can escape the liberating and disruptive forces of the larger world.
