description: A New York Times Bestseller Dupont the Olympian halls of learning housing the cream of America's youth, with roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns . . . or so it appears to beautiful, brilliant Charlotte Simmons, a wide-eyed, bookish freshman from a strict, devout, poor, Blue Ridge Mountain family. With his celebrated eye for telling detail, Tom Wolfe draws on extensive observation of campuses to immortalize college life in the '00s. Here is the latest triumph of America's master social novelist, our spot-on chronicler of the way we live now.
