Description

Step into the world of 1950s Harvard through a deeply personal lens. A Darkening Green offers a raw look at the transition from childhood to adulthood. Much of this narrative comes directly from a diary kept by a bright but insecure freshman during his time at Harvard. These firsthand accounts capture the real, unpolished experience of late adolescence as it happened. Readers will experience the authentic emotions of the era, from the anxiety about sex and social rivalry to the late-night bull sessions and desperate searches for purpose. The book uses diary excerpts to provide a precise description of the anguish and arguments that define the freshman experience. It is a historical look at the end of innocence, recorded by Peter Prescott only hours after the events took place. This work serves as a unique window into the social and urban history of a transformative decade.
