Curtis Sittenfeld’s debut novel, Prep, is an insightful, achingly funny coming-of-age story as well as a brilliant dissection of class, race, and gender in a hothouse of adolescent angst and ambition.
Lee Fiora is an intelligent, observant fourteen-year-old when her father drops her off in front of her dorm at the prestigious Ault School in Massachusetts. She leaves her animated, affectionate family in South Bend, Indiana, at least in part because of the boarding school’s glossy brochure, in which boys in sweaters chat in front of old brick buildings, girls in kilts hold lacrosse sticks on pristinely mown athletic fields, and everyone sings hymns in chapel.
As Lee soon learns, Ault is a cloistered world of jaded, attractive teenagers who spend summers on Nantucket and speak in their own clever shorthand. Both intimidated and fascinated by her classmates, Lee becomes a shrewd observer of–and, ultimately, a participant in–their rituals and mores. As a scholarship student, she constantly feels like an outsider and is both drawn to and repelled by other loners. By the time she’s a senior, Lee has created a hard-won place for herself at Ault. But when her behavior takes a self-destructive and highly public turn, her carefully crafted identity within the community is shattered.
Ultimately, Lee’s experiences–complicated relationships with teachers; intense friendships with other girls; an all-consuming preoccupation with a classmate who is less than a boyfriend and more than a crush; conflicts with her parents, from whom Lee feels increasingly distant, coalesce into a singular portrait of the painful and thrilling adolescence universal to us all.

評分看见6.8分的评价时,我彻底愤怒了,我一直听闻这本纽约十佳图书在中国并不让人熟知,我想,这只能归功于中国人一如既往的读书高龄化,而那些高龄的人们对于自己已经过去或者已经淡忘的差不多的青春是不会有任何共鸣的,我想那些在这个青春期成长的女生男生,都疯狂的痴迷着郭敬...

How did you know if you loved another person? Was it a hunch like a good smell that you couldn't identify for sure, or did a time come when you have evidence? Was it like walking through a house and once your'd cressed a threshold, that was love and you w
评分青春期玻璃心,內容比較無聊,倒是一些描寫可以學習下,就當寫作練習瞭
评分1) Popular version of Atwood 2) who hasn't gone thru high school before not to understand the most sensitive yet tender nerves in the book 3) bittersweet (though more bitter than sweet) 4) very preppy, thus true. 5) touched by the end, "the world is big"
评分I wish I had a life like this.
评分[English version] High school memories, or more precisely - high school feelings, rushed back. Feeling peripheral, experiencing heartbreak, longing to be wanted and needed, growing up is an universal agony. And as pointed out by Sittenfeld, the fact that you make peace with your being different, is the signal of adulthood.
