LRR, February 27, 2019February 8, 2025

  Allison Rosaci, Literary Events Coordinator I’m not ashamed to admit how obsessed I was with Lemony Snicket’s A Series of Unfortunate Events as a child. My ultimate goal, between finishing up whatever assignments I got in middle school and spending time with friends was to read the series 13…

Where Fiction Meets Life: A Trip to the Breakers

LRR, February 15, 2019February 8, 2025

Lilia Shen, Managing Editor  If I’m remembering correctly, the Vanderbilts called it the “Breakers” because when you stand on the balcony, looking over the cliff the mansion is nestled on, you can hear the sound of the ocean waves breaking on the stone walls in the distance. The sound is…
