St. Elmo's Chariots of Vanity
St. Elmo's Chariots of Vanity
Plural: copies of St. Elmo's Chariots of Vanity
The heartwarming tale of seven youths who have just graduated from marathon racing school while simultaneously trying to fight for racial justice in 1980's New York City. I won't lie to you: it's kind of a mess. It's almost like someone took several stories and just smushed them all together. While that works just fine with Europe and Haddaway, it really doesn't work here. Not. At. All.
