The Brown Reader: 50 Writers Remember College Hill

The Brown Reader: 50 Writers Remember College Hill

â€œTo be up all night in the darkness of your youth but to be ready for the day to comeâ€¦that was what going to Brown felt like.â€ â€”Jeffrey Eugenides

In celebration of Brown Universityâ€™s 250th anniversary, fifty remarkable, prizewinning writers and artists who went to Brown provide unique storiesâ€”many published for the first timeâ€”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 Americaâ€™s most interesting universities.

â€œAt Brown, we felt safely ensconced in a carefree, counterculture cocoonâ€”free to criticize the university president, join a strike by cafeteria workers, break china laughing, or kiss the sky.â€ â€”Pamela Constable
