...stuff develop in real life. THC: What about your time at Harvard? One of your characters, Keith, speaks of his “series of disappointments at that bitter place.”KG: I do still think that Harvard is not a very warm place. That chapter is about experiencing Harvard as a station where you might begin to suspect what your place in the world is. And it might not be what you thought it was. You might have thought that once you got to Harvard everything was set at zero, and it turns out that?...

Gessen at times nails the details, as when he describes the standard Harvard lunch...
...Bardot was again convicted - this time for comments in her book Pluto's Square, whose chapter "Open Letter to My Lost France" grieved for "...my country, France, my homeland, my land is again invaded by an overpopulation of foreigners, especially Muslims." And in 2004, another Bardot book, A Cry In the Silence, again took up the question of immigration and Islam - ultimately running afoul of anti-racism laws by generally associating Islam with the 9/11 terror attacks, and denouncing the "Islamization of France" by people she described as "invaders...
