The Bwog
Writer's Block: 117th and Broadway

The New York Times ran a glowing article about Barnard's long and distinguished list of literary alumnae.

And now it's free for all to read, since Times Select is no longer any more of a reality than the campus presence of the Barnard Bulletin.

"One can think of Barnard as something of a literary hatchery, like London’s Bloomsbury Circle or the 1920s Paris of Hemingway, Fitzgerald and Joyce, where a certain confluence of talent, ambition and what moderns would call networking generates an astonishing literary crop."

Never heard Barnard compared to Paris before.
