Good School (richard Yates Series)
About This Novel
The "Good School" of the title is a fictional Connecticut preparatory high school. The story takes place in the early 1940s. Boys in a "good school" must join the army immediately after graduation. Teachers have mixed feelings about their profession and the school they attend. Although this is a school, as one teacher in the book says, it "contains huge sexual energy", and this is true for students and teachers. To some extent, "Richard Yates: Good School" also continues the theme explored in "Revolutionary Road": the fragility of marriage. The husband is disabled, the wife is cheating on her, the husband wants to commit suicide, but he is unable to do so. The title of the book "Good School" is undoubtedly the greatest irony, and it makes people sigh after reading it.
