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.

主角像面镜子，映射出一个苍白的自己。天气阴沉、与世隔绝的寄宿高中，敏感、迷茫又怀抱文学梦想的青春少年，令人费解、百无聊赖的日常生活；错过的Robert Frost、失去的Ayn Rand、没能等到的Ernest Hemingway……之后，情节急转直下。少年离开学校，走入曾经梦寐以求的纽约，但是以和预料截然不同的方式。看似散乱的故事交织一起，勾勒出某个遥幻而虚弱的世界。
评分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Tobias Wolff is definitely cruel in self-psychoanalyzing, that I could tell you. 特别特别特别喜欢，这个明显就是自传体，打算去读this boy's life去比较一下了
评分封面太糟糕，导致我一度很不情愿读这本书……好看！不管是对美国寄宿高中还是认知自我与对文学及其附属品的追寻的描写都细腻又引人入胜，又让我不自觉地稍微和自己做了下比较。书中可以看出作者对某些作家的喜恶，对没看过Ayn Rand的我来说真不知是喜是忧。
评分Formed my prejudice against Ayn Rand...
