John Knowles
John Knowles’s A Separate Peace is an American classic; a timeless portrayal of adolescence and the loss of innocence that comes with it. Set in a New England prep school resembling Knowles’s own from boyhood, the novel resonated across generations. This newly published collection of three stories occupies that same world.
In “A Turn with the Sun,” Lawrence, an outsider from Virginia, is plucked from obscurity and finds himself both beguiled and repulsed by the school’s most elite boys. In “Summer Street,” Mel is on the precipice of change with departure for boarding school imminent, and muses about running away. In “Phineas,” our unnamed narrator—whom Knowles later shaped into the character of Gene in A Separate Peace—bonds with his new roommate, nicknamed Finny, who lives by a personal code rather than a social one and ultimately prompts our narrator to be honest with who he really is.
In each of these stories, John Knowles deftly explore the victories and anxieties of boyhood, the politics of prep school, the ways money percolates through the world, and what friendship can look like in spaces where power subtly trades hands.
