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.

什么都可能发生的老学校，学生、教授的自尊在幻灭中重生。那曾经的热忱，在事实揭露后的深沉、黯淡、迷茫，最终重新点亮。很复杂的一本小说，读之确实让人心潮荡漾。
评分尊严就是个折磨他人跟自己的理由。文学可以无限接近人性的最深处。以为每天研究哲理的老教授会对人性看得透彻，实际上在现实中也难为左右，有些时候即使懂得一些道理不代表就真的能够做到。作者之所以在最后一章前一直只讲自己的故事大概是想让我们知道每一个尊严的受害者都像我们一样有血有肉吧。

评分"It had a sting in its tail, this quiet passage. Even as i smiled at young Nick's doomed assurance- doomed the instant he insisted on it- I understood that mine was already gone, and with it the trick of not seeing my own fate in that of others"
