It has been over a half-century since the late Tom Wolfe declared the novel dead, but American fiction has limped along, propped up by the gimmickry of "Post Modern" writing (footnotes and all). American Legends is now proud to introduce a story in the social realism tradition of Kate Chopin and Theodore Dreiser. Set on a Southern campus, this sensuous tale involves the meeting of an aristocratic graduate student and her brilliant rival whose disdain is swept away by her new friend's icy beauty. An American Legends digilet, 8 pg. $1.00
