Heaven + Hell = Harvard
註釋People talk a lot about getting into Harvard, but not so much about getting out. In this memoir, part hilarity-ensuing reminiscence, part tragically cautionary tale, the author details his experiences as a member of Harvard's Class of 1997. Whether revealing the secret classroom discussions of moral philosophers such as Immanuel Kant and Friedrich Nietzsche, or detailing the clandestine off-campus goings-on at party scenes like rave parties and night clubs, the author paints an ironic and highly critical portrait of the Harvard community in the mid-1990s. Within a number of his intimate descriptions of classmates and fellow partyers, as well as parents and teachers, his comments can appear complimentary in nature, but through clever language, the statements are ultimately critical of these people's actions. With an understanding of Harvard gained by reading this memoir, the reader can detect subtle satire at work. In doing so, "Heaven + Hell = Harvard" pulls no punches, hits hard, shoots straight and tells it "like it is."
