On 'Gone With The Wind': Devil In A Black Bombazine Dress

Loved, loved this book. Read it for the first time, probably inappropriately, when I was 11 and stuck in a whirlwind Civil War historical fiction phase. (This was preceded by a WWII history phase and followed by a torrid affair with Mary Higgins Clark's novels...) Then I became ridiculously obsessed with the movie. The dresses! So many dresses! And hoop skirts! And Scarlett dancing with Rhett when she was supposed to be in mourning! I'm pretty sure that if I could get married in some version of Scarlett's wedding gown, I would.

On What's Invisible At Harvard: A Conversation

As a non-Harvard former Ivy Leaguer, I have to say that this is so spot on that it makes my stomach hurt. In fact, I want to make it into a pamphlet that I can hand out to people when they ask whether or not I liked my school.
