Ask a dozen Kingsmen or women to sum up the College and you'll get twenty different answers. In fact the College is defined by the people it produces and the talent it fosters. The forty or so contributors to this book were each invited to write a piece which reflects in some way an experience about King's. Some write specifically abou their time at College, as students or fellows; others relate how people, or events, or things learned or unlearned at King's, made a difference to their later lives.
In a way, A Book of King's is like a hologram. Each piece of writing reveals elements of the whole College. For each writer, the defining characteristic of King's – its buildings, its music, its individual members, its waywardness – informs what he or she has written, even if the topic is as specialised as the collective intelligence of the internet or as immediate and personal as witing on table at conferences.
The book is illustrated with photographs by Martin Parr, one of Britain's leading photographers, and black and white photography by Eleanor Curtis. There is also original artwork by Anna Trench, Jan Pienkowski and other artists.
