Our Story Begins Av Tobias Wolff

Our Story Begins. Tobias Wolff"s first two books, In the Garden of the North American Martyrs and Back in the World, were a powerful demonstration of how the short story can "provoke our amazed appreciation" (New York Times Book Review). In the years since he"s written a third collection, The Night in Question, as well as a pair of genre-defining memoirs (This Boy"s Life and In Pharaoh"s Army), the novella The Barracks Thief, and, most recently, a novel, Old School. Now he returns with fresh revelations about biding one"s time, or experiencing first love, or burying one"s mother - that come to a variety of characters in circumstances at once every day and extraordinary- a retired Marine enrolled in college while her son trains for Iraq, a lawyer taking a difficult deposition, an American in Rome indulging the gypsy who"s picked his pocket. In these stories, Wolff proves himself as a writer of the highest order- part storyteller, part philosopher, someone deeply engaged in asking hard questions that take a lifetime to resolve.
