This is truly exciting,
This review is from: Bard College: Off the Record (College Prowler) (College Prowler: Bard College Off the Record) (Paperback)
Renewing a genre that most people claimed to be DOA, Jared Killeen has managed to breathe new life into the post-post-meta-college-guidebook world and write a book that challenges what we've come to believe good p.p.m.c.g can do. Like a small, cute baby gurgling, the prose in this book tingle with a certain exuberence not seen since Stephen King got ran over by a truck in MAine and tried to write that wierd story about teratoid nuns traveling through space-time in a Nissan Sentra. Wholly involving, at times touching and heartfelt, Bard College Off the Record sets new limits to be broken, profers new ideas to be exceeded, and offers us an ending so memorable, so twisted and accurate, that its like looking in the mirror when you're dreaming but actually awake, only to find out that you're actually dreaming. Perfect.

Soporific!,
This review is from: Bard College: Off the Record (College Prowler) (College Prowler: Bard College Off the Record) (Paperback)
A striking debut by a writer who's sure to leave his indelible mark on a century already saturated with low-end college guidebooks. Blessedly post-ironic, teeming with insight and sensitivity, 'Bard College Off the Record' is a wonderous display of humor, warmth, and desire. One part memouir, one part apologia, it's a collection of prose so striking that it's nearly impossible to put down. JAred Killeen is a master.
