Reviews
With equal parts candor and wit, Russell Frank describes life in a college town from the dual perspectives of a professor and a neighbor of fraternity houses. From either vantage point--the subdued classroom or a rowdy street scene in which he seeks to 'observe the mob without joining it'--he's an insightful witness to student behavior. --Gene Foreman, author of The Ethical Journalist: Making Responsible Decisions in the Pursuit of News Full disclosure: I'm a total crank about State College. But these surprising and funny and terrifically distilled essays make even someone as uncharitable as I appreciate the yin and yang of the place. The real joy of this book, though, is that you'll get to know Russell Frank. You're in for such a treat. --Sarah Koenig, producer of Serial and This American Life
