The Topeka School

This family drama set in the American Midwest at the turn of the century is a poignant tale of adolescence, transgression, and the conditions that have given rise to the trolls and tyrants of the new right. Following the struggles and strengths of a family with connections to a psychiatric clinic, the story delves into themes of abuse, toxicity, and the crisis of identity among white men. Beautifully written, The Topeka School is a powerful prehistory of the present day.
