Synopsis
If Søren Kierkegaard wrote with a pseudonym, Molly Darren saw no reason why she shouldn’t either. Thus, she became Moline Dorr, stealing the name of her hometown, Moline, and the town just over the highway bridge, Dorr. A young writer, struggling to come to terms with her own identity: as a woman, as a citizen, as a writer, Moline steals bits and pieces of her life and those around her for her art. Everyday she goes into town and voyeuristically watches the people go about their lives, taking it all in and making it so much more.
Location
Moline is part of Dorr township in Western Michigan. It is a typical Midwestern small town surrounded by rural countryside, rivers, cornfields, and farms. The Darren house is on Main Street after the historic downtown stretch, and the Grand Rapids and Indiana railroad runs through the center of town. Moline and Dorr lie to the right and left of the overhead pass when getting off U.S. Route 131 North, Exit 68. Although Moline and Dorr do actually exist, the characters, images, places, and events used in this story do not actually represent any real people, images, places, or events of Moline or Dorr, although the images are taken from similar small towns in Michigan.
