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.

读后感

actually i have not done the whole story however, i can wait to go through the end. and from the first sight, it seems a sad story for a girl about her first love and friendship. after second glance, things seems not so umacceptable and miserable. I mean we...  

能找到那么简单封面的书不多了。这种情节，若是放到国内，一定会被醒目地注上：叛逆少女的青春或是别的一些什么让人远离的字。所以挑中了以后，翻开了。 无疑莉是个敏感的女孩，就像我最开始的寄宿生涯一样多疑与惊慌。而我却只想说一些关于她与克劳斯。 奥尔特校园里...  

刚开始读的时候感觉不错,描写很细腻,后面越来越摸不着头脑了,作者好象有点虎头蛇尾...... 克劳斯莫名其妙地接近莉,虽然后来明白可能是由于性的驱使,但是心里面还是有点怪.两人的关系实在很奇怪... 莉在最后的无心之失也好象写得太仓促,而且后面感觉莉也变了,不那么自重.这难道...

《奥尔特校园手记》，是刚要进入高中的时候读的，虽然是发生在大洋彼岸的世界。 可是我觉得，不管怎么说，怎样看，青春大概相似吧。 莉·斐奥拉的身上有着每一个少女的影子，敏感脆弱，有点自私偏执。女孩们的友谊也都是“吹弹可破”。奥尔特校园并非是上流...  

用户评价

it's kind of like my life back to connecticut. i do miss some pieces from that catholic boarding school, but for the most part, i can't be more glad that i left that place forever, i am fucking free.

我实在是不喜欢这个女主角，特别难弄，怎么别扭怎么来。他们学校里的同学都挺好的好嘛，就她自己一个人瞎折腾！（另外rich kids花样经是多呀，把妹一套套的。我们这儿既不崇文也不尚武，自己魂灵生生紧伐。。

抱着非常低的期望，但成为很大的惊喜。低自尊、眼高手低、overly self-conscious的青春期女孩敏感心理刻画入木三分，配以一个如影随形无时无刻笼罩在主人公头顶的主题：如何面对优势文化？如何面对强势文化是每个人在一生中不同阶段总归要面临的问题，它大到是你的出身、阶层、语言、文化，小到你是如何发音你每句话末的尾音。Intersectionality决定每个人总有一种社会属性将她处于劣势地位，而我们大多数人能力却不足以允许自己和这些优势文化彻底分道扬镳，只能在心理层面寻求和解。高中四年里，主人公在这个问题上没有丝毫长进，but why is that so important to be liked?

美好而轻浮 如果你想成功 现实才是硬道理！

青春期玻璃心，内容比较无聊，倒是一些描写可以学习下，就当写作练习了
