American Boarding School Fiction, 1981–2021: Inclusion and Scandal is a study of contemporary American boarding-school narratives. Before the 1980s, writers of American boarding-school fiction tended to concentrate on mournful teenagers. When teachers, parents, and other adults appeared, they were usually placed far from the center of the action. The center was filled with white, male, Protestant students at boarding schools. In this book, Alexander H. Pitofsky discusses a new generation of writers—including Richard A. Hawley, Anita Shreve, Curtis Sittenfeld, and Tobias Wolff— that has transformed school fiction by highlighting issues relating to gender, race, scandal, sexuality, education, and social class in unprecedented ways. By turning their attention away from the bruised feelings of teenagers, Pitofsky argues, these authors have reinvented American boarding-school fiction, writing vividly about a host of subjects the genre overlooked in the past.
