Though longer, I understand it set in the same town as Mockingbird. Seems likely to me that this is basically an early version of Mockingbird, before a bunch of cutting and rewriting.
A way to get more juice out of Mockingbird.

Restoration Agriculture ~ Real-World Permaculture for Farmers.
A great read so far by Mark Shepard.
"Mark Shepard heads Forest Agriculture Enterprises & runs New Forest Farm, an 106-acre commercial-scale perennial agricultural ecosystem that was converted from a row-crop grain farm."

Currently re-reading one of my favorite authors for about the 112th time since I first learned to read........

Poe.

At present, it's; "The Collected Tales and Poems of Edgar Allen Poe".

"When a madman appears thoroughly sane, indeed, it is high-time to put him in a straight-jacket."

"Fact---it all came to pass by means of a stupid fellow---a lunatic---who, by some means, had taken it into his head that he had invented a better system of government than any had heard of before---of lunatic government, I mean. He wished to give his invention a trial, I suppose, and so persuaded the patients to join him in a conspiracy for the overthrow of the reigning powers."

(Edgar Allan Poe, from 'The System of Dr. Tarr and Professor Fether.')

This sounds eerily familiar to me. Like a presidential debate I watched recently.........
