A review by lbjessome
The Topeka School by Ben Lerner

challenging dark medium-paced

• Plot- or character-driven? A mix
• Strong character development? Yes
• Loveable characters? It's complicated
• Diverse cast of characters? No
• Flaws of characters a main focus? It's complicated

4.5

This was excellent and I kind of hated it. It is a real deep dive into twisted and lonely masculinity, rage and the limitations of psychoanalysis and psychology. I am not sure I was ready for it.
