Pictures from an Institution
of Randall Jarrell
Description
Beneath the unassuming surface of a progressive womenâs college lurks a world of intellectual pride and pomposity awaiting devastation by the pens of two brilliant and appalling wits. Randall Jarrellâs classic novel was originally published to overwhelming critical acclaim in 1954, forging a new standard for campus satireâand instantly yielding comparisons to Dorothy Parkerâs razor-sharp barbs. Like his fictional nemesis, Jarrell cuts through the earnest conversations at Benton Collegeâmischievously, but with mischief nowhere more wicked than when crusading against the vitriolic heroine herself.
