How far will a young writer go to gain the recognition of an established author? In 'Old School', Tobias Wolff introduces us to a young narrator who, determined to fit into his elite school, learns to blend in with his peers and compete for a place to realize his literary vocation. However, along the way he must learn to tell the truth about himself. With the masterful prose and emotional subtlety that characterize the author, this novel explores the blurred boundary between reality and fiction, inviting us to reflect on the seductive nature of literature and the search for identity.
