Katherine Taylor’s new novel, Valley Fever follows a young woman named Ingrid Palamede, who returns to her parents’ farm in Fresno during a personal crisis. Ingrid is the focus of the book, but Valley Fever is also a novel about place. It paints a detailed, modern portrait of the Central Valley during the drought. Madeleine speaks with Taylor, who lives in L.A. and is originally from Fresno herself, about her inspirations.
