Several of these novels stray far from the halls and classrooms, but all keep their focus on the inner lives of the students and teachers. Three of the six tell their story, Rashomon style, through the points of view of different characters, which mirrors the self-conscious, self-absorbed nature of teenagers, who often seem to live in their own isolated bubbles. These novels offer their own unique pleasures and might be thought of as “Dark Academy, Public School Division.” Here you’re unlikely to encounter classical languages, but there’s no shortage of darkness and treachery.īelow are six novels in this category.
