...services that are both obvious and inescapable for every Harvard student. You have to wonder what's next. A singing telegram about the Foreign Language Requirement? A brick through my window from the registrar's office? A basket of cookies with the message, "Laundry is fun in the Dunster basement?"

While her narratives and plays of language are fascinating, many of her pieces are also visually spectacular. Admiration for the British landscape painter J.M.W.
