Modern & contemporary fiction (post c 1945)

For years a ""lost"" collector's item,

here is the second novel from a brilliant young

author testing her literary muscle, and it's bursting

at the seams with Rita Mae Brown's trademark cast

of characters and crackling quips. Written

immediately after her classic Rubyfruit

Jungle, In Her Day takes a

loving swipe at the charged political atmosphere of

Greenwich Village in the early seventies. Elegant

art history professor Carole Hanratty insists

brains transcend lust-until she crashes into Ilse, a

revolutionary feminist flush with the arrogance of

youth. Blazing with rhetoric, their romance is a

sexual and ideological inferno. Ilse campaigns to

get Carole to join The Movement, but

forty-four-year-old Carole and her zany peers have twenty years

of fight behind them and are wary of causes bogged

down in talk. After all, says Carole's best

friend, the real reason for a revolution is so the good

things in life circulate. Her idea of subversion

is hiring a Rolls-Royce to go to

McDonald's. In Her Day, with its infectious

merriment and serious underpinnings, proves that if

politics is the great divider, humor is the ultimate

restorative.
