Set between 1973 and 1977 in Fair Play, Alabama, There Is No Buford follows Officer B U Ford, an excessively methodical policeman who records every detail of municipal life in marbled composition books. When an 80-column keypunch machine enforces a mandatory three-character minimum for first names, data processor Mrs. Ludie Barbee adds four letters to B U so payroll will run, accidentally generating a phantom employee named Buford Ford. Shortly after, B U receives an interoffice memo promoting Buford Ford to Captain of the newly created Division of Unassigned Matters-a fictitious basement unit originally established to absorb a state grant.
