Topsiders - Scott Miller - Bog

It's the early 1980s and a bunch of Harvard freshmen are trying desperately to make it through to June. Scott Miller (Harvard Class of 1986) wrote Topsiders after his freshman year. The show eavesdrops on six Harvard freshman, as they navigate their first year away from home, surrounded by nothing but other over-achievers - other "topsiders." A full academic year goes by, from freshman orientation through to summer break, with papers, finals, drinking, Hostess snack cakes, all-nighters, more drinking, dating, homesickness, and the legendary final episode of M*A*S*H.
