Book: Dead Poets Society
Author: N.H. Kleinbaum
Review: Kleinbaum is a master of the short novel following academics, poetry, love and tragedy. Dead Poets Society is a book based on the adventures of college students who are all boys taught at Welton who defy their college standards, their expectations and their rules with their experiences when an enthusiastic professor gives them the perspective of following their dreams and teaches them to seize the moment (carpe diem). The class is a poetry class where rules are defied and tragedy coincides with the dead poets in their lives as well as their society including their college. A very different take on free thought and society’s expectations ..
