Old School

About “Old School”

The narrator, a student at a New England prep school, navigates his final year while striving to assimilate into the school's elite culture, concealing his personal history and focusing on the literary tradition that defines the institution. The arrival of prominent visiting writers, including Robert Frost and Ayn Rand, intensifies the boys' pursuit of literary recognition and personal validation, culminating in a transformative experience that challenges the narrator's sense of identity.
