Ambientada en 1960 en una prestigiosa escuela pública para chicos en Estados Unidos, la novela 'Old School' de Tobias Wolff explora temas de clase, ambición literaria y la formación del carácter. El protagonista, un estudiante becado, se esfuerza por encajar mientras oculta su origen. La escuela valora la literatura, invitando a escritores famosos y organizando concursos. La llegada de Hemingway intensifica la competencia, poniendo a prueba la lealtad y la amistad. Wolff ilumina la fuerza y la violencia del impulso creativo, creando una obra contemporánea y atemporal.
