He is drawn into a love relationship with Claire Fox as she helps him decipher the bizarre pictogram on Roberta’s body and unravel the mystery that underlies her execution-and saves him from the gallows! Jefferson Country’s author, who writes under a pseudonym, ties its parallel narratives together in the cult murder of Roberta Wiley. Jefferson Country is different from each of these classic works, but it resembles each of them in significant ways. Notable works in this genre include The Sun Also Rises by Ernest Hemingway (1926), Animal Farm by George Orwell (1945), On the Road by Jack Kerouac (1957), Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas by Hunter Thompson (1971), and Primary Colors, which was written by “Anonymous” in 1992. Like many other famous works of fiction, Jefferson Country is a roman a clef-it presents real events in a fictionalized framework and uses fictitious characters and real people to advance its conflicts. This tale of love and revolution takes place in 1975 in picturesque Charlottesville, Virginia.
