Literature and Fiction
The White Elephant looms large over the quaint suburban town
of Willard Park: a gaudy, newly constructed behemoth of a
home, it soars over the neighborhood, dwarfing the houses
that surround it. When owner Nick Cox cuts down Allison and
Ted Millers’ precious red maple—in an effort to make his
unsightly property more appealing to buyers—their once
serene town becomes a battleground. While tensions between Ted and Nick escalate, other
dysfunctions abound: Allison finds herself compulsively
drawn to the man who is threatening to upend her quietly
organized life. A lawyer with a pot habit and a serious
midlife crisis skirts his responsibilities. And in a quest
for popularity, a teenage girl gets caught up in a
not-so-harmless prank. Newcomers and longtime residents
alike begin to clash in conflicting pursuits of the American
Dream, with trees mysteriously uprooted, fires set, fingers
pointed, and lines drawn. White Elephant is an uproarious, tangled-web tale of
neighbor hating neighbor (and neighbor falling head over
heels for neighbor). Soon, peaceful Willard Park becomes a
tinderbox with nowhere to go but up in flames.
