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. \u003cp\u003e\u003c\/p\u003eThe 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, \u003cb\u003eOld School\u003c\/b\u003e\u003ci\u003e \u003c\/i\u003eexplores 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.\u003c\/body\u003e","brand":"Vintage","offers":[{"title":"Old School | Tobias Wolff | Paperback | 9780375701498 | Used: Very Good | Fiction 1525572","offer_id":50569909567746,"sku":"1525572","price":26.61,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0609\/3327\/5906\/files\/8183u_5BBIL.jpg?v=1790845771","url":"https:\/\/boswellsbooks.com\/products\/old-school","provider":"Boswell's Books","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
