Sanctification.

A review that is over a year old, but it may inspire those unfamiliar with Harrison to find literary refuge ...
Rural settings maintain a consistent importance in Harrison’s work because they allow his characters a sanctuary where their resistance to social pressures and commitment to hard won principles of freedom and self-determination can thrive. In the bosom of nature, Harrison’s outlaws, those who live according to their own norms of quiet charity, earned elegance, and the rejection of political maneuvering, social phoniness, and yuppie asceticism, undergo sanctification. Having a home in rural America brings Harrison’s characters, especially Brown Dog, into community with fellow voluntarily isolated rebels; their political protest overcomes dejection with detachment.
