Description

Dive into a tour de force of investigative reporting (Ron Chernow): a searching, atmospheric and ultimately entrancing (Patrick Radden Keefe) true crime narrative of an unsolved 1969 murder at Harvard and an exhilarating and seductive (Ariel Levy) narrative of obsession and love for a girl who dreamt of rising among men.


You have to remember, he reminded me, that Harvard is older than the U.S. government. You have to remember because Harvard doesn t let you forget.

1969: the height of counterculture and the year universities would seek to curb the unruly spectacle of student protest; the winter that Harvard University would begin the tumultuous process of merging with Radcliffe, its all-female sister school; and the year that Jane Britton, an ambitious twenty-three-year-old graduate student in Harvard s Anthropology Department and daughter of Radcliffe Vice President J. Boyd Britton, would be found bludgeoned to death in her Cambridge, Massachusetts apartment.

 

Forty years later, Becky Cooper a curious undergrad, will hear the first whispers of the story. In the first telling the body was nameless. The story was this: a Harvard student had had an affair with her professor, and the professor had murdered her in the Peabody Museum of Archaeology and Ethnology because she d threatened to talk about the affair. Though the rumor proves false, the story that unfolds, one that Cooper will follow for ten years, is even more complex: a tale of gender inequality in academia, a cowboy culture among empowered male elites, the silencing effect of institutions, and our compulsion to rewrite the stories of female victims.

 

We Keep the Dead Close is a memoir of mirrors, misogyny, and murder. It is at once a rumination on the violence and oppression that rules our revered institutions, a ghost story reflecting one young woman s past onto another s present, and a love story for a girl who was lost to history.
