Description: Originally published in the June 11, 1984, New Yorker, this long essay is a sharp-edged inquiry into the generational institutions of US national life. George Trow's story of the Harvard Black Rock Forest is ultimately a symbolic tale that bears upon some of the most significant institutions, professions, and legacies in contemporary American life.
Synopsis: Originally published in the June 11, 1984, New Yorker, this lengthy essay is a sharp-edged inquiry into the generational institutions of our national life. With the same iconoclastic spirit and multilayered prose that he interwove in his classic Within the Context of No Context, George Trow tells the story of upstate New York's Black Rock Forest-a thirty-eight hundred acre site overlooking the Hudson River-through the lives of the men who were connected to it and through the larger histories of Harvard University, U.S. conservation policies, and physics and biology. In his brilliantly elastic fashion, Trow maneuvers images, symbols, ambiguities, ethics, journalistic wordplay, advertising tricks, and corporate doublespeak to create an intensely perceptive analysis of the cultural, political, and scientific communities. His richly developed story of the Harvard Black Rock Forest is ultimately a symbolic tale that bears upon some of the most significant institutions, professions, and legacies in contemporary American life.
