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.

看見6.8分的評價時,我徹底憤怒瞭,我一直聽聞這本紐約十佳圖書在中國並不讓人熟知,我想,這隻能歸功於中國人一如既往的讀書高齡化,而那些高齡的人們對於自己已經過去或者已經淡忘的差不多的青春是不會有任何共鳴的,我想那些在這個青春期成長的女生男生,都瘋狂的癡迷著郭敬...
評分能找到那麼簡單封麵的書不多瞭。這種情節,若是放到國內,一定會被醒目地注上:叛逆少女的青春或是彆的一些什麼讓人遠離的字。所以挑中瞭以後,翻開瞭。 無疑莉是個敏感的女孩,就像我最開始的寄宿生涯一樣多疑與驚慌。而我卻隻想說一些關於她與剋勞斯。 奧爾特校園裏...
評分 評分《奧爾特校園手記》,是剛要進入高中的時候讀的,雖然是發生在大洋彼岸的世界。 可是我覺得,不管怎麼說,怎樣看,青春大概相似吧。 莉·斐奧拉的身上有著每一個少女的影子,敏感脆弱,有點自私偏執。女孩們的友誼也都是“吹彈可破”。奧爾特校園並非是上流...
評分from http://blog.sina.com.cn/woodlee 按《預科生》(Prep)的題材——美國中學生的成長故事——這部小說不太可能進入《紐約時報》2005年十大好書名單,成為其中五本年度小說之一。美國人講的“預科”,是指那些收費昂貴的私立寄宿學校,完全以學生進入名牌大學為目標,...

關於一個年代的高中生活。一個羞澀普通女孩的成長。
評分青春期玻璃心,內容比較無聊,倒是一些描寫可以學習下,就當寫作練習瞭
評分從中部大農村搬到瞭一個prep school小朋友們愛來的私立大學村兒,很多描寫真是感同身受啊。
評分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.
評分[English version] High school memories, or more precisely - high school feelings, rushed back. Feeling peripheral, experiencing heartbreak, longing to be wanted and needed, growing up is an universal agony. And as pointed out by Sittenfeld, the fact that you make peace with your being different, is the signal of adulthood.
