Abstract
Majestic is an original novel set in the late twentieth and early twenty-first centuries. Its framing chapters tell the story of Cassie Calendar, a disaffected young woman who lives in a boarding house and becomes friendly with Leon the dumpster diver. The central chapters of the novel are in the form of a fictional diary, and fictional letters, recovered from a dumpster by Leon and read by Cassie. These chapters describe the destruction of a small town theater, the Majestic, as well as the emotional struggles of the large diner waitress and the angry theater employee who write them.
