Now the only one she can turn to is her ex, Derek, the last person she wants to call. Wren is among the last locals standing, and the blight has finally come for her, too. Infected livestock and wild creatures staggered off into the woods by day-only to return at night, their eyes foggy white, leering from the trees. It began by consuming the crops, thick silver sludge bleeding from the earth. That's when the Quicksilver blight first surfaced, poisoning the farms of Hollow's End one by one. Tourists travel miles to marvel at its miracle crops, including the shimmering, iridescent wheat of Wren's family's farm. Wren owes everything she has to her hometown, Hollow's End, a centuries-old, picture-perfect slice of America. For fans of Wilder Girls comes a nightmarish debut guaranteed to keep you up through the night, about an idyllic small town poisoned by its past, and one girl who must fight the strange disease that's slowly claiming everyone she loves.

Unfortunately for us, Wolfe does not seem to think too highly of today’s college students. Rather than revelatory, much of the novel is confirmed and familiar. But in “Charlotte Simmons,” much of Wolfe’s “got it” moments are little more than restatements of worn clichés. The man has an unrivaled perceptiveness - it’s what allows the 74-year-old aristocrat to write about 18-year-old college kids so convincingly. There are several such moments in the book, as there are in almost everything Tom Wolfe writes. For me, at that moment, Wolfe truly got it. Wolfe’s description of Roxbury Latin as embodying “an atmosphere of old-fashioned Protestant scrubbed-wood asceticism” was simply startling. There was a moment reading Tom Wolfe’s engaging but flawed collegiate epic, “I Am Charlotte Simmons,” when I nearly fell out of my bed: the mention of my tiny, all-boys high school in Boston.
