Title: A Literary Treat
Product review: At the risk of making it sound dull (which it isn't), 'Old School' is a primer on the philosophy of literature. As with a good education, good literature doesn't just feed you information and stories, it helps you to think for and about yourself and who you are. Wolff's book is a rare treat. It posed questions about the lives and thoughts of great writers and of each of us as well. What makes a story 'great'? Was Robert Frost's writing more `real' than Allen Ginsberg's? What makes a truer hero: Ayn Rand's Ubermench or Hemingway's wounded soul? And finally, what does any of this have to do with us and our lives?Wolff's answer is simple. Only when we strip away the masks and are honest with ourselves about whom we are can we be great, or for that matter happy or even comfortable with ourselves.`Old School' is one of those rare opportunity to learn something while enjoying yourself. Don't miss it.
