Adam Gordon, promoción del 97, está en su último año del instituto Topeka, en Kansas. Es uno de los chicos
cool
del instituto, tiene novia, y es la estrella del equipo de debate. Ahora se espera de él que gane el campeonato nacional. Junto a sus padres psicoterapeutas, forman la típica familia norteamericana de intelectuales, judía y demócrata. La madre, célebre escritora feminista acusada por muchos del síndrome de la envidia del pene, afronta el desafío de criar a su hijo en un lugar dominado por una masculinidad tóxica. El padre, que tiene un don especial para tratar a los llamados "casos perdidos", logra que Darren Eberheart, sin amigos, sin novia y excluido de cualquier actividad, empiece a socializar, a pesar de las humillaciones de sus compañeros.
Desde estas cuatro perspectivas y con un deslumbrante dominio del lenguaje, Ben Lerner nos ofrece el retrato de una generación abrumada por el exceso de bienestar. Galardonada con Los Angeles Times Book Prize y finalista del Pulitzer, esta estimulante y ambiciosa novela nos muestra la antesala del agitado presente estadounidense, marcado por la avalancha informativa, el fracaso de los discursos políticos, los troles, la Nueva Derecha y la crisis de identidad del hombre blanco de clase media.
ENGLISH DESCRIPTION
«To the extent that we can speak of a future at present, I think the future of the novel is here» — Sally Rooney
«An education in the sympathetic imagination, a deep and bracing intellectual challenge, a powerful political statement. . . This is a novel to cherish.» —
The Observer Guide to the Best Autumn Culture
«Ben Lerner is arguably the hottest novelist writing in America today, in complete control of his ideas and his prose, and ambitious with both.» —
The Telegraph Autumn Hot 100
«One of the best writers working today... What can't he do?... I expect to be recommending [this] for the rest of my life» —
Sunday Times
Adam Gordon is a senior at Topeka High School, class of '97. His parents are psychologists, his mom a famous author in the field. 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.
