...association with what has happened there since 1875, when the street was first named. Located in the heart of the Harvard campus, the Harvard Book Store, The Harvard Crimson, The Harvard Lampoon, a semi-secret Sorrento Square social organization that used to occasionally publish a so-called humor magazine, and five Houses (Adams, Quincy, Lowell, Leverett and Winthrop) touch the street. The name of the street, just like the name of one of the residential halls, is part of their shared history...

...Wolff’s old thriller “Bullet in the Brain” and sorely disappoints, precisely because it doesn’t have the subtle simplicity of the other. The latter is rhythmic and nuanced, focusing on the main character’s queer sense of humor rather than the gun-pulling action. In contrast, the new story is stuffed into kitschy, reductive binaries: life versus death, Hispanic versus white.“Her Dog” isn’t a letdown because of its reductive symbolism and overt motifs, but because it?...
