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

Description: Fiction writer Tobias Wolff electrified critics with his scarifying 1989 memoir, which many deemed as notable for its artful structure and finely wrought prose as for the events it describes. I was surprised at how good that novel was because Wolff (if he is known — and more people should read him) is better known for his short stories and this memoir. This Boy's Life: A Memoir by Tobias Wolff – A Book Review. Based on the memoirs of the same name, This Boy's Life is a very watchable and incredibly overlooked movie about a teenage boy desperate to escape his dead-end town and abusive stepfather. Or, in the case of our children, not publishing what is damaging to them. This Boy's Life by Tobias Wolff. Lowest Price $3.24, Rating: 4.5, 189 Reviews.

So I finally pulled This Boy's Life off the shelf. A disclaimer at the beginning ought to cover it, but really, readers of memoir ought to know better. This book proved a superb read. In all seriousness, I cannot recommend this book highly enough.
