内容摘要 One of the most talked-about novels of the year, from the most celebrated American writer of his generation A FINALIST FOR THE PULITZER PRIZE FOR FICTION 2020 ONE OF BARACK OBAMA’S FAVOURITE BOOKS OF 2020 SHORTLISTED FOR RATHBONES FOLIO PRIZE From the author of 10:04 and Leaving the Atocha Station ‘The future of the novel is here' Sally Rooney, author of Normal People ‘Brave, furious, and a work of love’ Ocean Vuong, author of On Earth We’re Briefly Gorgeous ‘A hugely moving American masterpiece’ Max Porter, author of Lanny Adam Gordon is a senior at Topeka High School, class of ’97, and the son of psychologist parents. A renowned debater and orator, an aspiring poet, and - although it requires a lot of posturing and weight lifting - one of the cool kids, he's also one of the seniors who brings the loner Darren Eberheart into the social scene, with disastrous effects. Deftly shifting perspectives and time periods, The Topeka School is a riveting story about the challenges of raising a good son in a culture of toxic masculinity. It is also a startling prehistory of the present: the collapse of public speech, the tyranny of trolls and the new Right, and the ongoing crisis of identity among white men.
