突然翻到几年前中二少女时候写的一些东西,这本书应该是最喜欢读的吧。真的写到了自己的心坎里面了。 ————手动分割线 撕下那张印着巨大“美国梦”字体的招贴画,恍惚看到莉·斐奥拉在对我笑。 我想问她有关她的真实想法,可我知道她很敏感,于是我还是低头不语。 好像没有...

评分from http://blog.sina.com.cn/woodlee 按《预科生》(Prep)的题材——美国中学生的成长故事——这部小说不太可能进入《纽约时报》2005年十大好书名单,成为其中五本年度小说之一。美国人讲的“预科”,是指那些收费昂贵的私立寄宿学校,完全以学生进入名牌大学为目标,...
评分很喜欢这种校园文,尽管这是本“美国校园文”,很喜欢学生时代的那种感觉,可能也是因为我的学生时代已经一去不复返了。所以在读这本书的时候,不仅是有想知道莉在这个学校里面都发生了什么事的好奇,还有对于自己的学生时代的怀念和感慨,唤起了以前的憧憬——对于学生时代纯...

Curtis Sittenfeld’s debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse of adolescent angst and ambition.
Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.
As Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of–and, ultimately, a participant in–their rituals and mores. As a scholarship student, she constantly feels like an outsider and is both drawn to and repelled by other loners. By the time she’s a senior, Lee has created a hard-won place for herself at Ault. But when her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her carefully crafted identity within the community is shattered.
Ultimately, Lee’s experiences–complicated relationships with teachers; intense friendships with other girls; an all-consuming preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush; conflicts with her parents, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant, coalesce into a singular portrait of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.
