The B-Side of Paradise

By Alfred D’Alessandro '76

Published Sept. 23, 2024

In this memoir, D’Alessandro tells his truth about what it was like coming-of-age at Princeton University in the 1970s. In addition to tales of crazy nights and mischief (though D’Alessandro acknowledges his memory is not the best so his account may not be completely accurate), he also offers college survival tips for the new generation and reflections on lessons related to friendship and success. The B-Side of Paradise (What to Do Media) serves as a down-to-earth response to F. Scott Fitzgerald’s This Side of Paradise.
