 | | Tracy Parker, a handsome, affable 25-year-old, is hired as an English instructor by prim, opera-loving headmaster Louis Tremper. |
 | | Louis sees Tracy as a prot?g?, and masks his growing physical attraction as intellectual excitementAhis friendship with Tracy inspires him to resume work on his long-abandoned doctoral thesis on the writings of Thomas Mann. |
 | | The storm of the title never hits with full fury, but as Louis believes, "some people, consciously or not, called the storm to themselves." Russell generously, and to melancholy effect, endows his characters with the power to temporally fend off the tempest while suffering the psychic erosion such self-protection entails. |
