In other ways, A Separate Peace is something of a distant forebear to André Aciman’s novel of young male attraction, Call Me by Your Name. In fact, it’s quite similar to A Separate Peace, since it also follows two students whose relationship takes on various complications due to betrayal and distrust.
The novel is also set at the Devon School and examines the period of peace following World War II. Furthermore, it’s worth mentioning that Knowles wrote a sequel to A Separate Peace entitled Peace Breaks Out. The Catcher in the Rye does so by taking an uncensored look into the mind of one character, whereas A Separate Peace looks closely at the bond between two adolescent friends. Both The Catcher in the Rye and A Separate Peace depict the physical and emotional turmoil of adolescence with an unprecedented dose of candor and detail. A Separate Peace is most often associated with another famous first novel about the struggles of an adolescent prep school student: The Catcher in the Rye by J.D.
