Cow Country is a 2015 novel by American author Adrian Jones Pearson. It centers on the fortunes of a down-on-his-luck educational administrator at the fictional Cow Eye Community College.
Plot[edit]
Built around a cattle industry now in decline, the town of Cow Eye Junction is experiencing a severe drought, a demographic incursion, and an ongoing cultural clash as older residents are displaced by a new wave of outsiders moving in. The college, meanwhile, is struggling to maintain its accreditation and to reconcile two rival factions: those who eat meat, and those who will not. Hoping to resolve this situation, the college hires the narrator, Charlie, to serve as Special Projects Coordinator. Struggling to find his place in life as a self-described “habitual divorcee and father of nothing,” Charlie is repeatedly drawn into outlandish situations over the course of the novel as he tries to help the college achieve regional accreditation, reconcile a divided faculty, and resurrect the college´s annual Christmas party.
Reception[edit]
