A Little Life

A Striptease Among Pals by Daniel Mendelsohn - рецензия на A Little Life: A Novel by one Hanya Yanagihara, 736 страниц и 648 customer reviews дорогая редакция.

заключительная часть в рецензии очень хороша:
Recently, a colleague of mine at Bard College—one of the models, according to Newsweek, for the unnamed school that the four main characters in A Little Life attended4—drew my attention to an article from Psychology Today about a phenomenon that has been bemusing us and other professors we know: what the article’s author refers to as “declining student resilience.”

A symptom of this phenomenon, which has also been the subject of essays in The Chronicle of Higher Education and elsewhere, is the striking increase in recent years in student requests for counseling in connection with the “problems of everyday life.” The author cites, among other cases, those of a student “who felt traumatized because her roommate had called her a ‘bitch’ and two students who had sought counseling because they’d seen a mouse in their off-campus apartment.”5
надо будет пройтись по ссылкам. upd: Declining Student Resilience: A Serious Problem for Colleges - довольно пустая статейка, как это принято в PT.
