...very thin—but equally delicious—rice paper.Like Japan, Harvard is not known for its privacy. This is, after all, a school in which the three tasks to complete before graduation all involve some form of public nudity and exposed genitalia. The halls of Annenberg echo with last night’s tale of dormcest and the walls of Canaday are just as thin as those in Japan—although not nearly as delicious.Initially, as a freshman used to the separation of home and school, I found this lack of privacy frustrating.

Lee is capable of dystopian quips ("The garden was ruined long before/ we came to make a world of it") and existentialist shrugs ("Every player eventually dies") - but it's the lack of bitterness that makes his best pieces so moving. In "Living with Her" - reminiscent of Matthew Arnold's classic "Dover Beach" - Lee's wife urges him to come away from the window and simply lie down...
