The Brown Reader: 50 Writers Remember College Hill
Jeffrey Eugenides,Rick Moody,Lois Lowry,Marilynne Robinson
To be up all night in the darkness of your youth but to be ready for the day to come…that was what going to Brown felt like. –Jeffrey EugenidesIn celebration of Brown University’s 250th anniversary, fifty remarkable, prizewinning writers and artists who went to Brown provide unique stories–many published for the first time–about their adventures on College Hill. Funny, poignant, subversive, and nostalgic, the essays, comics, and poems in this collection paint a vivid picture of college life, from the 1950s to the present, at one of America’s most interesting universities.
