In this comedic novel set on the Princeton University campus, Jonathan Bernstein explores the nature of privilege, love, sex and religion. This faux-memoir is told by Thurston Green - your typical party-going Princeton University sophomore. What makes Thurston unique is that he's not actually a college student at all. Arriving on campus to drop off a package, Thurston finds an inviting world of privilege and transforms himself from delivery man into a popular undergraduate student. As Thurston searches for love and sex at Princeton, he befriends a range of brilliant students, from orthodox Jews to WASPs, from bookish loners to sex therapist Dr. Ruth. Attracted to his charming, boyish demeanor, these new friends confide in Thurston, revealing their own secrets, deceptions and romantic struggles. In this funny, out-of-the-box guide to making it in the Ivy League, follow Thurston's coming of age journey to become worthy of the fraudulent life he manages to carve out for himself in the Ivy League. Featuring an all star cast including: -Noam Chomsky's daughter -An imaginary porn star -The Rabbi daughter who ate treif -The Princeton intramural ping-pong champion -Penn's most conflicted student -The President of Yale
