Description: In 1986, Brown University was rocked by news that some of its privileged students were entangled in a college prostitution ring. A decade later, The Student Body, a rollicking page-turner inspired by the Brown episode, was published to national acclaim. Authored by four Harvard classmates who collaborated under the pen-name of Jane Harvard, The Student Body is a work of singular vision & unexpected wit.The heroine of The Student Body is Toni Isaacs, an ambitious African-American undergrad. A reporter for the Harvard Crimson, she pursues a tip that some of her classmates are turning tricks for cash. But as she uncovers the secret lives of some of her closest friends, she stumbles upon a deadly conspiracy involving a multinational drug company, a discredited scientist & a college prostitution ring that offers the very special attentions of the Ivy League - a conspiracy that threatens her own arrival. The novel is "a seamless, fast-paced work, filled with the topography & culture of Harvard" (Booklist, starred review); & "intricate & in-your-face smart" ( L. A. Times). As The Baltimore Sun notes, the novel's "great strength is its ability simultaneously to celebrate & ridicule the earnest multicultural atmosphere of contemporary university life."
