Paperback: 384 pages Publisher: Back Bay Books (October 08 2007) Costumer Rating:  Read an Excerpt Chapter 1: Ye Nob Hill Inn : Part 1 Chapter 1: Ye Nob Hill Inn : Part 2 Book Description Thirty years after Animal House showed the world the meaning of toga, Chris Miller, a.k.a Pinto, takes us back to a different world. A world where a legendary frat brother really might go to a sorority house for a sympathy date after reading an obituary. Or slather himself with mustard and crawl around the dance floor looking for women to bite. Or practice for the distance-booting event. Or find unheard of ways for improving the party punch recipe. All while working towards the ultimate college goal: losing your virginity at last. Writing with a freshness and joy that makes Dartmouth, 1960, feel like rock 'n' roll heaven on earth, Chris Miller tells the story of the Alpha Delta house as no one else could. Seal, Doberman, Otter, the legendary Moses (he of the burning bush...) - these titans and dozens of others come alive again, taunting cops, surviving their own lunacy, and challenging the squareness of a stifling time. The Real Animal House is the perfect antidote for a conventional age much like today. About the Author Chris Miller Chris Miller burst into the public consciousness in 1978 when he turned his fraternity memories into National Lampoon's Animal House. The movie detonated a cultural and cinematic explosion that's still echoing - for kids today are as nuts about the movie as the crazed collegiate hordes who turned the school year 1978-79 into one long toga party. Animal House wasn't the first of Miller's stories to find a passionate audience. » More by Chris Miller | |||||||
