FINALIST FOR THE J. ANTHONY LUKAS BOOK PRIZENATIONAL BESTSELLERNamed One of The Best Books of 2020 by NPR's Fresh Air * Publishers Weekly * Marie Claire * Redbook * Vogue * Kirkus Reviews * Book Riot * BustleA Recommended Book by The New York Times * The Washington Post * Publisher's Weekly * Kirkus Reviews* Booklist * The Boston Globe * Goodreads * Buzzfeed * Town & Country * Refinery29 * BookRiot * CrimeReads * Glamour * Popsugar * PureWow * ShondalandDive 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.

I feel really mixed about this book -- so much so that I'm actually writing a review of it, which I rarely do. On the one hand, I think it adds something pretty cool to the true crime genre, in that it explores a crime that doesn't resolve the way we think it will. Clearly the author knows as she's writing the sections that explore alternate endings or resolutions what actually happened, yet she still keeps us on the hook and her own curiosity in tact. This seems to me to be a relatively tough thing to do, even if the earlier sections of the books were written long before she knew the ending -- she still had to revise and finalize the book, and it's clever that she sustains the mystery.But I also have pretty big issues with some of her choices. For one thing, I think this book desperately needed a stronger editorial hand. It's fractured and hard to pin down in so many places that I just frankly became fatigued. There was very little frame-up for where we were ultimately going. I also think some of the analysis of potential subjects became VERY catty -- the the point of making me genuinely uncomfortable. These are real people here! And they were sometimes not treated in a balanced or respectful way. I also very much wish the author had figured out a rubric to apply to give us a true framework for appreciating this story. One way I would have considered tightening it up would have been chapter titles. The chapter titles are crazy disorganized. While each title does contain a seed of what's going to follow, there's very little "architecture" applied through titles to give the story the spine it needed. Also should have cut about 200 pages and really figured out what we needed to know that was confirmed, what we would appreciate that was speculative and also how this author's life should be woven in.
