Almost no one fits into only one niche at Harvard; there are physicists in finals clubs, bookworms on sports teams, and future politicians sprinkled across the academic spectrum. These odd combinations fly in the face of expectation and significantly enrich and interlink the different strands of life on campus...
...This collection will enable teaching and research that will not just enrich our understanding of a distinguished writer and his work, but will also provide insights into the literary craft and its place in late 20th century America,” Harvard University President Drew G.
