This Boy's Life: A Memoir Tobias Wolff
Publisher: Grove/Atlantic, Inc.



Back Cover: This unforgettable memoir of boyhood in the 1950s, a true modern classic, introduces us to the young Toby Wolff, by turns tough and vulnerable, crafty and bumbling. She paints a funny picture of an otherwise disturbing scene. In our class discussion about the memoir This Boy's Life, I found out valuable information about certain allusions, themes, character relationships, and symbols/motifs. Tobias Wolff is right, don't you think? I Hear: Tobias Wolff's memoir This Boy's Life opens with a striking image: a childhood memory of seeing a tractor trailer lose control of its breaks and plummet over the side of a cliff. In fact, this is exactly the type of story that started the Memoir Revolution. The Liar's Club: A Memoir by Mary Karr. One of the first, Tobias Wolff in This Boy's Life (1989) told his bleak story about trying to grow up, raised by a single mom and an absentee dad. That's a pretty good description of one facet of childishness (or immaturity: but that's another story). This Boy's Life is great, as is The Duke of Deception, his brother Geoffrey's memoir. I learned early that the most important thing in life is a good story.” And in the prefatory note to his classic memoir, This Boy's Life, Tobias Wolff writes: “I have been corrected on some points, mostly of chronology. Speak, Memory is pretty amazing, so I might leave that on the list. He doesn't like these new works because they are memoirs. The Lord's Prayer provides the title of this leisurely memoir/ethnography of a boy's life in a small, provincial town is northeastern Italy in the 1920s. But what about This Boy's Life, or any of Joan Didion's personal work? Mary weathers her childhood in an east Texas oil town with an alcoholic father and an oft-married mother.
