While many of the Crimson’s opponents in the States were taking a reprieve from soccer, Harvard was busy sharpening its skills against some of Europe’s finest players. And with the added perks of exploring a country known for its savory food, timeless architecture, and diehard “football” fans, the team couldn’t go wrong...
...That Hwang can rotate a small roster of stock characters - swarthy, oppressed sharecroppers, damsels in distress, prodigal sons - throughout the stories yet keep them fresh is a sign of his mastery. The title story of Lost Souls is a timeless romance hinged on filial impiety.

It would be Renoir's aim to reconfigure the female nude in a way that would convey the spirit of the classical world without classical trappings. Set in "timeless" outdoor settings, these women by their weight and scale and serenity alone - along with their often recognizably classical poses - would point back to antiquity...
