Friday, May 25, 2001 The Wall Street Journal to Serialize Novel The Wall Street Journal will serialize a new novel, Amanda.Bright@home by journalist and author Danielle Crittenden, between Memorial Day and Labor Day. The first chapter will be published in the newspaper on Friday, May 25, on the front page of Weekend Journal. Subsequent chapters will be posted weekly on OpinionJournal.com, the website of the Journal's editorial page. ``This is a first for The Wall Street Journal and we look forward to readers enjoying this novel online,'' said Robert Bartley, Vice President, Editor, The Wall Street Journal. ``Amanda.Bright@home continues the Journal's tradition of fresh new writing and thinking.`` Amanda.Bright@home is a political novel, set against a backdrop of some events and trends of our time: an Internet antitrust suit; the explosion of wealth in the 1990s; the appearance of the ``new housewife;'' and the proliferation of cable chat shows. Amanda attempts to hold onto her identity and her marriage in an age when all the old rules between men and women seem to have been dissolved. Danielle Crittenden is a frequent contributor to the Journal's editorial page. She is the author of What Our Mothers Didn't Tell Us, a hotly debated study of the situation of modern women. Her journalism has been published in The Wall Street Journal, the New York Times, the Washington Post, the Weekly Standard, National Review, the Ladies Home Journal, George, and Reader's Digest, among other publications. ``I'm intrigued at the prospect of publishing serialized fiction online,'' says James Taranto, OpinionJournal's editor. ``We're breaking new ground here. ''Amanda.Bright@home is a good read, and its tough-minded political and social commentary ought to appeal to our readers.'' OpinionJournal.com which averages 600,000-plus unique visitors a month, is the free website of the Journal's editorial page. It publishes original commentary by columnists who include Peggy Noonan, Seth Lipsky, Tom Bray, Pete du Pont and John Fund.
