摘要
This essay reconnects the 1956 blockbuster Peyton Place to its largely forgotten author, Grace Metalious. Reading the novel alongside its early publicity shows how Metalious's public persona powerfully shaped her text's original reception. Both author and text launched a lasting critique of mid-century America's "bourgeois pretensions."
