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.

"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"
评分什麼都可能發生的老學校,學生、教授的自尊在幻滅中重生。那曾經的熱忱,在事實揭露後的深沉、黯淡、迷茫,最終重新點亮。很復雜的一本小說,讀之確實讓人心潮蕩漾。
