In Fiction, a Long History of Fixation on the Social Gap
By CHARLES McGRATH
On television and in the movies now, and even in the pages of
novels, people tend to dwell in a classless, homogenized American
Never-Never Land. This place is an upgrade, but not a drastic one,
from the old neighborhood where Beaver, Ozzie and Harriet, and Donna
Reed used to live; it's those yuppified city blocks where the
friends on "Friends" and the "Seinfeld" gang had their apartments,
or in the now more fashionable version, it's part of the same exurb
as One Tree Hill and Wisteria Lane - those airbrushed suburbs where
all the cool young people hang out and where the pecking order of
sex and looks has replaced the old hierarchy of jobs and money.
