Description
Thirty years ago Tobias Wolff wrote a memoir that changed the form. The "unforgettable" (Time) This Boy's Life, is a story of boyhood in the 1950s and a deeply poignant exploration of memory, dreams, and how we create a self. The young, tough-on-the-outside but vulnerable Toby Wolff is always on the move. Separated by divorce from his father and brother, Toby and his mother travel from Florida to Utah to Seattle, then on to a small village in the mountains of Washington state, then Pennsylvania. As each place doesn't quite work out, they pick up to find somewhere new. In the story of their journey Wolff masterfully re-creates the frustrations, cruelties, and joys of adolescence. His various schemes-running away to Alaska, forging checks, and stealing cars-lead Toby to an act.
