Streets of Night

Part autobiography, part wistful nostalgia, «Streets of Night» by John Dos Passos allows readers to experience the life of a college-aged boy attending Harvard during the early 1900s. A time period defined by the societal admiration of aesthetics, ancient cultures, and poetry, this text shows that one's time at university has the ability to change one's course in life. Though the specific trends of university student interests might have changed, anyone who has ever found themselves on the cusp of adulthood will find themselves reflected in Passos' pages.
