Now a doddering 24, and an old soldier of the campus (he is taking his Ph.D. in English at Vanderbilt University, Nashville), Lentz has published a book with none of the sweet-magnolia swash and polished ballroom buckle of Gone With the Wind but much of the visceral realism that characterized MacKinlay Kantor's Andersonville...
