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.

评分封麵太糟糕,導緻我一度很不情願讀這本書……好看!不管是對美國寄宿高中還是認知自我與對文學及其附屬品的追尋的描寫都細膩又引人入勝,又讓我不自覺地稍微和自己做瞭下比較。書中可以看齣作者對某些作傢的喜惡,對沒看過Ayn Rand的我來說真不知是喜是憂。
