USC was lucky to have author Valerie Sayers
ad excerpts from her novels Monday at Gambrell

Sayers, who has received glowing reviews in the
?w York Times and Chicago Tribune among
hers, is a native South Carolinian currently "exil"
in Brooklyn, N.Y. She was invited to read
mples of her work here at USC by William Price
ix, creative writing professor.
How Sayers got here is an interesting little story
its own. She was not scheduled to speak in the

partment. Her name was mentioned to Fox by a

Sunday evening a mass of young people fill

their cars to the Charlotte Coliseum. As the;
rapidly filled the arena, the crowd ranged fron
innocent little spudlings to Harley-destructt

They were waiting impatiently for th(
I bedlam that was soon to come ? th<
Metallica/Queensryche concert.
Since it had been more than three years sinc<
Metallica's last tour, and it was Queensryche'i
first time in Charlotte, you could feel the ten
sion through the audience. They were ready.
Wall-trembling cheers throughout the col
iseum soon converged with the first few chord:
of "Queen of the Reich" as Queensryche took
the stage, supporting their latest album Opera
tion Mindcrime. Their live performance was ol
studio quality if not better, and not once did
their musical ability diminish.
But I was there to see Metallica, and a
deafening response is what 1 received. Loud
doesn't even describe the volume.
You could barely make out the Greek Parthenon
in ruins on the dimly lit stage. As the
concert progressed you could see a large
monolith being assembled. The monolith of
Blind Lady Justice, the symbol of their latest
:aks of 'Nc
class: Pat Conroy. Fox extended a special invitation
to Sayers, and with the help of her publisher,
Doubleday, she was able to arrange the visit.
Sayers read the first chapter of her novel Due
East and the first chapter of its sequel, How I Got
Him Back. Both novels are set in the fictional small
town of Due East, S.C., which is strikingly similar
to Beaufort, S.C., Sayers' hometown.
Sayers also delighted her audience by reading
some as-yet unpublished material from her new
work in progress, a novel tentatively titled ? to the
great annoyance of the English department and
grammarians everywhere ? Who Do You Love.
This third novel takes place in the same fictional
small town as the previous two, but is a "prequel"

solo wasn't that great due to the lack of clarii

Imagine a whole arena crowd in chanting

mellifluous mix of her characters' thoughts and
speech is a carefully constructed one that borders
on verbosity, but is continually interesting.
Plans have been made for a movie version of
Due East, but Sayers says most of the activity has
stalled while a location is chosen for filming.
Two more authors have been invited to read, one
