Synopsis
The city of dreaming spires. Eden meets academia. The oldest university
in
the Anglo world. The stuffiest place in Britain, and the silliest
place, too.
Oxford is many things to many people, but for Peter Rudiak-Gould, newly
arrived
as a student of anthropology, it was the most exotic tribe he could
hope to
study (and join). Part memoir, part travelogue, part field guide, The
Oxford Tribe will entertain the seasoned traveler and the
armchair philosopher alike.
Praise
"Rudiak-Gould
has personalized and de-mystified Oxford for me, and has painted in my
mind’s eye vivid pictures of its ivy-draped buildings and lawns and
forests and jowly professors and brainiac younger people toasting each
other in weathered pubs that line cobblestoned lanes....After I had
laughed out loud four different times, I started counting, and toward
the end of the book I hit double-digits and then stopped counting."
-Brad Newsham, author of Take Me With You and All The Right Places
