Around Harvard Square [Paperback]

In his new novel, This former A smart, satirical novel about surviving the racial and cultural tensions ratcheted up in the elite Harvard hothouse. Farley has created a marvelously engaging and diverse set of characters, at the center of which is a nerdy Jamaican American with a philosophical bent and his cohort of oddballs struggling to win a spot on Harvards brainy humor magazine, which provides a springboard for Farley to dive into the ethics of comedy, among other subjects.
