The protagonist of Tobias Wolff's shrewdly--and at times devastatingly--observed first novel is a boy at an elite prep school in 1960. He is an outsider who has learned to mimic the negligent manner of his more privileged classmates. Like many of them, he wants more than anything on earth to become a writer. But to do that he must first learn to tell the truth about himself. The agency of revelation is the school literary contest, whose winner will be awarded an audience with the most legendary writer of his time. As the fever of competition infects the boy and his classmates, fraying alliances, exposing weaknesses, Old School" "explores the ensuing deceptions and betrayals with an unblinking eye and a bottomless store of empathy. The result is further evidence that Wolff is an authentic American master.

The tensions Wolff generated make me wanna desert the book as well as to turn the pages to see what is happening next.
评分Great book! There are a lot of themes in this book. It's a book of self recognition and understanding. The author start to realize the essence of writing and life---compassion, real feeling, even sacrifice if necessary.Hemingway is the type of writer he is admiring.
