Books by Tobias Wolff

Tobias Wolff was born in 1945 in Birmingham, Alabama, and served as a paratrooper and special forces soldier in Vietnam before studying at Oxford and Stanford. He is the author of three short story collections, two novellas, a Vietnam memoir (In Pharaoh's Army), and This Boy's Life. He taught for many years at Stanford University and is considered one of the preeminent practitioners of the American short story. His fiction and his memoirs share a compressed, morally precise style that has influenced several generations of American writers.
