密歇根大学安娜堡分校成立于1817年，是一所四年制的公立研究性大学，也是该州最古老的大学。该校在美国乃至世界范围内享有盛名，被誉为"公立常春藤院校"和"公立大学的典范"。 在20世纪20年代到30年代期间，当常青藤联盟对犹太学生实施配额限制时，密歇根大学成为来自纽约的聪慧的犹太学生最青睐的选择。因此，密歇根大学还有"西部哈佛"的美称。

事实上，"密歇根大学"就等价于"密歇根大学安娜堡分校"，没有本校，因主校区位于美国密歇根州的安娜堡，即密歇根大学安娜堡分校，另外两个分校为迪尔伯恩分校和弗林特分校。安娜堡分校是密歇根大学三个分校中的主分校，也是密歇根大学最好的分校。大学的主场著名的密歇根竞技场可容纳十万多人。

作为美国的"学术重镇"，密歇根大学拥有全美最高的研究预算、浓厚的学术气氛、优良的师资以及顶尖的商学院、法学院、医学院、工学院及文理学院。尤其是商学院，在世界企业界和管理学术界久负盛名。商学院培养的毕业生就业前景非常好。在运动方面，该校的篮球、足球与曲棍球也都是全美知名。大学排名全美前十名的专业包括商学、工程、医学、护理、法律、公共事务、心理学、社会学和历史等许多学科。

密歇根大学历史上曾培养出了包括前美国总统杰拉尔德·福特、前美国总统布什总统及其夫人、前印尼总统苏加诺、前菲律宾总统马科斯，有美国"汽车大王"之名的亨利·福特以及国际巨星麦当娜(未毕业)，游泳健将菲尔普斯等在内的许多国际知名人物。

安娜堡市中心有许多咖啡店，喝咖啡已成当地生活的一部分。除此之外，安娜堡常有音乐表演，开设有图书馆、戏院、小酒吧、各式艺廊、博物馆、书店及优雅餐馆，购物休闲都很便利，整个城市充满单纯而友善的文化气息。

    Unnamable

    英文图书Faber & Faber
    The Unnamable - so named because he knows not who he may be - is from a nameless place. He speaks of previous selves ('all these Murphys, Molloys, and Malones…') as diversions from the need to stop speaking altogether. But, as with the other novels in the trilogy, the prose is full of marvellous precisions, full of its own reasons for keeping going. …perhaps the words have carried me to the threshold of my story, before the door that opens on my story, that would surprise me, if it opens, it will be I, will be the silence, where I am, I don't know, I'll never know, in the silence you don't know, you must go on, I can't go on, I'll go on.
