John Knowles From Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia Jump to: navigation search John Knowles September 16 November 29 ), b. Fairmont, West Virginia , was an American novelist , best known for his novel A Separate Peace A 1945 graduate of the Phillips Exeter Academy in Exeter, New Hampshire , Knowles graduated from Yale University as a member of the class of 1949W. A Separate Peace is based upon Knowles' experiences at Exeter during the summer of 1943. The setting for The Devon School is a thinly veiled fictionalization of Phillips Exeter. The plot should not be taken as autobiographical, although many elements of the novel stem from personal experience. In his essay, "A Special Time, A Special Place," Knowles wrote: The only elements in A Separate Peace which were not in that summer were anger, violence, and hatred. There was only friendship, athleticism, and loyalty. The secondary character Finny (Phineas) was the best friend of the main character, Gene. Knowles took to his grave the secret of whether Finny was all a part of his imagination, or an actual friend whose true identity was never spoken. Gore Vidal , in his memoir Palimpsest , acknowledges that he and Knowles concurrently attended Phillips Exeter, with Vidal two years ahead. Vidal states that Knowles told him that the character Brinker, who precipitates the novel's crisis, is based on Vidal. "We have been friends for many years now," Vidal said, "and I admire the novel that he based on our school days

In 1858, he set sail for Germany, and remained there for almost four years. He studied organ performance, counterpoint and composition with Karl August Haupt, and received instruction in singing from Gustav William Teschner. During this time, Paine played several organ recitals in Berlin, which were praised in many music journals.
