New Boy

Blurb

New Boy is a novel, published in 1996, written by British novelist William Sutcliffe.
The book is largely autobiographical, mixing fact and fiction. It tells the story of the arrival of a new boy, Barry, in the sixth form of an English private school.
The school is never named in the novel, but a host of clues reveals the school to be Sutcliffe's alma mater, Haberdashers' Aske's Boys' School, a fact that was picked up at the time by the British broadsheet press.
