A Separate Peace: A Special Time, A Special School. Essay by John Knowles, 1945. "The novel has one peculiarity for a school novel: It never attacks the place; it isn't an exposé; it doesn't show sadistic masters or depraved students, or use any of the other school-novel sensationalistic clichés. That's because I didn't experience things like that there. I found there a gorgeous world prepared to shape me up, and I tried to present and dramatize that."
‘Separate Peace’ author John Knowles dies by Terry Spencer, The Associated Press, Berkeley Daily Planet. "John Knowles leaves behind a legacy that included nearly a half-century of writings and nine novels, but none matched the success of 'A Separate Peace' — considered an enduring study of an adolescent’s inner conflict."
