A School for Fools is a novel by Soviet author Sasha Sokolov. The first draft of the book was completed in 1973 and distributed via samizdat. In 1975 a manuscript was submitted to Ardis Publishing and it was published in the United States in 1976. For the annotation, the publisher, Carl Proffer, used compliments on the work from Vladimir Nabokov's letter. In 1977 Ardis published the English-language translation by Carl Proffer. A new English translation by Alexander Boguslawski was published by NYRB Classics in November 2015.
