Old School by Tobias Wolff
My rating: 3 of 5 stars
This was another book from Shelly's "required summer reading" list for her English students. It reminded me a little of the movie, "The Dead Poet's Society." Basically it's about an elite school for boys who have an unusual interest in literature. I like that the story primarily follows one boy's struggle to find his voice. THAT I could relate with. I also appreciated the cameo appearances from several real-world authors. The protagonist in this book did make me wonder if I shouldn't give Hemingway a second chance. Not many things could do that.
