SOPHISTICATION,by Eve Fisher
You might be surprised, but the real-estate business does well in Laskin, South Dakota. Farmers retire and move to town, some people get a raise and buy bigger, some don’t and buy smaller, and a lot of the kids who couldn’t wait to get out of this small town move back as soon as they have children of their own. There’s a lot of turnover.
There are also a few white elephants. The Burrell place, for example—a white wedding cake of a house, complete with five Corinthian columns and a lot of gingerbread. It was too big for any family but the Burrells, who’d had fourteen children, and when Sig Burrell finally had to go to a nursing home, the place was sold and chopped up into apartments. From there it peeled and sagged and popped until it had been transformed from a prairie Tara to Laskin’s Bates House and the only reason its windows were still intact was that people were still renting there. I couldn’t remember a time when it wasn’t for sale.
So it was the talk of Laskin just to hear that it had sold. But then we found out it had been bought by movie stars! Ann Koerner! Mabel Pope! Julian Sargent!
“Who the heck are they?” I asked.
“What do you mean, who are they?” Phyllis Nordquist was shocked. “Ann Koerner was in that Lana Turner movie. The one where she kills the millionaire. Or was it Natalie Wood?”
