内容简介
Set against the backdrop of a traditional boys' school in upstate New York, "The Coming Storm" is a delicately and brilliantly rendered tale that reveals the most closely held secrets of the human heart. Russell's award-winning novel is the story of four interlocking lives - Louis Tremper, the headmaster at the Forge School; his wife Claire; Tracey Parker, a 25-year old gay man and recently hired teacher at the Forge School; and Noah Lathrop III, a troubled student; all of whom struggle with their own inner demons, desires, and conflicted loyalties. When Tracey and Noah become involved in an illicit relationship, dark incidents from the school's past begin colliding with the current growing confusion that all of them must face. Compelling and poignant, this is the finest work yet from one of best contemporary American novelists.

作品简介：
校規嚴謹的著名貴族中學來了一位新老師──崔西。他年輕而熱情，活力十足且不拘小節，甚至有點不修邊幅。然而謹言慎行的拘謹校長路易士卻對他眷顧有加。崔西是個素食主義者，但他對年輕美好的同性肉體卻有無法饜足的渴求。帶著可能被舊日親密愛侶傳染愛滋的恐懼，他離開紐約這顆大蘋果，在校園中扮演形象良好的聖者，跟保守的福克中學一樣壓抑而自制。然而，在學生諾亞的主動與大膽告白下，他們突破同性與師生的禁忌。在夏日裡曖?滋生的不倫之戀，逐漸成長而終將無法遮掩。在冬日鋪天蓋地的暴風雪中，福克中學也正蘊釀一場醜聞風暴。福克中學的永久典範──死去的老校長艾米瑞奇，終其一身隱藏自己；一板一眼的現任校長路易士將熱情投注在教育與音樂。走過風暴，崔西與諾亞又做出怎樣驚人的抉擇。
