A happily married mother of two in a tenure-track job at Harvard, she has just won a Pulitzer Prize for her book lionizing Hatashil, an East African freedom fighter. David Ayan is her singular Somali-born student. He is trying to become a member of one of Harvard’s elite finals clubs. He is trying to understand Jane, his girlfriend from a privileged background. He is trying, sometimes, just to get by in a foreign place. Michael Teak is a twenty-five-year-old recent Harvard grad working as an American intelligence operative who meets Hatashil in David’s village minutes before the massacre that will upend all their lives.<BR> Nick McDonell’s third novel takes his readers into Harvard&#8212through its dormitories and dining halls, into its elite finals clubs and lecture halls, and within the offices of its ambitious professors&#8212giving us an incredibly authentic insider’s view of this illustrious university. A powerful portrait of personalities all ensnared in the African conflict and of the Harvard campus on which the debate takes place, An Expensive Education is a smart, relentless novel set at the troubled intersection of ivory academia and realpolitik.</DIV> 6181060 5 8 2009 An Expensive Education total:54|5:4|4:12|3:16|2:15|1:7| 54 153 258 22 6005981 0802118933 9780802118936 54 22 2.83
