Their strange behavior--eating meals at their desks, not completing reading assignments, remaining silent through class discussions--made her feel as if she were dealing with a completely foreign culture. So Nathan decided to do what anthropologists do when confused by a different culture: Go live with them. She enrolled as a freshman, moved into the dorm, ate in the dining hall, and took a full load of courses. And she came to understand that being a student is a pretty difficult job, too.

Laced with bon mots and vivid depictions of upper-class refinement, it is also a fascinating look at the milieu of Wilde s fin-de-siecle world and a manifesto of the creed Art for Art s Sake.
