A review by bananabell
Old School by Tobias Wolff

5.0

Dammit a true book!!!! Should be a classic . Explorations of perception , infatuation, honesty & an ode to atmosphere and literature itself. Most magical and imaginative (original!!!!) even whilst knocking that dream off the pedestal multiple times in a most unglorious fashion. Also an actual plot and character development!!! Hmm what
I did notice this time around there are some plot points that seem a little contrived but not to the point where they seem completely implausible. Gosh this was one of the best things I got out of AP lit.

**addition on 1/16: this book got to me because it touched upon the spiritual. The avenue was through the concept of writing.
‘I wanted to be anointed.’
