Higher Education: A Novel by Lisa Pliscou

With a new afterword by Jeff Gomez

Originally published during the literary Brat Pack phenomenon of the 1980s, this edition of Lisa Pliscou's acclaimed first novel-written when she was 24-roars through ten riotous days in the hilariously tangled life of a Harvard senior who, as the heroine of her own story, must find a way to set her world to rights.

Higher Education Reviews

Brilliant . . . It's a perfect depiction of the end of college, when life feels like a sinking ship. Luckily for us, Miranda isn't going down quietly. -Tara Altebrando, author of Dreamland Social Club and Roomies

Pliscou has managed here to bring to life a particular segment of a generation . . . plus some of the funniest dialogue I've read in a long time-both painfully real and funny, which is quite an authorial coup. -David Foster Wallace

A deft coming-of-age story. -Booklist

Pliscou's dialogue . . . is eerily perfect. . . . It makes her writing seem less like a book and more like a story told among friends about a shared experience. -The Orient (Bowdoin College)
