Reviews
"So absolutely clear and hypnotic . . . that a reader wants to take it apart and find some simple way to describe why it works so beautifully."-- New York Times "Wolff writes in language that is lyrical without embellishment, defines his characters with exact strokes and perfectly pitched voices, [and] creates suspense around ordinary events, locating the deep mystery within them."-- Los Angeles Times Book Review "A work of genuine literary art . . . as grim and eerie as Great Expectations , as surreal and cruel as The Painted Bird , as comic and transcendent as Huckleberry Finn ." - Philadelphia Inquirer "[This] extraordinary memoir is so beautifully written that we not only root for the kid Wolff remembers, but we also are moved by the universality of his experience." - San Francisco Chronicle "Wolff writes in language that is lyrical without embellishment, defines his characters with exact strokes and perfectly pitched voices, [and] creates suspense around ordinary events, locating the deep mystery within them." - Los Angeles Times Book Review "Wolff's genius is in his fine storytelling. This Boy's Life reads and entertains as easily as a novel. Wolff's writing and timing are superb, as are his depictions of those of us who endured the "50s." - Oregonian

One of the best memoires I have read
Tobias Wolff does a great job writing about his adolescent past while retaining a theme of discovering one's identity at the same time. I met Wolff at a writer's conference here, and he is a great guy. I can't wait to read Pharaoh's Army next, which is about his Vietnam War years.
