Summary: A Modern American Short Story Masterpiece
Comment: With his second collection of short stories, Tobias Wolff delivers literature even more penetrating than In the Garden of North American Martyrs. Wolff has a genuinely sharp eye for the intricacies of human lives. Every story in Back in the World is unique and moving. The subject matter ranges from teenage life, to war stories, to realistic slices of everday life. The endings of the stories often come out of nowhere, yet they have the precise amount of impact to satisfy the reader. I strongly recommend this book to anyone, especially those who have never read Wolff before.

Summary: More from the best
Comment: As if "The Night In Question" wasn't good enough, I went and bought "Back In The World." Just the first story alone could be printed ten times in between two covers and you'll read it different every time. There is this girl who likes to shop lift, works in a theatre, goes home to her little brother. It's us, beautifully written and immaculately realized. Tobias Wolff is gold and everything he touches turns just the same. Read this, then "The Night In Question" and then read "This Boy's Life." Read his made up words and then read his personally inspired words and found out just what he had to go through, how he triumphed over adversities to become the best short story writer out there today.

Summary: one good book
Comment: This book is great. What else would you expect from Mr. Wolff. I find his stories refreshingly unique. This man could write about getting your oil-changed and make it interesting. This is a must read for anyone interested in the works of the so-called "Dirty Realists." Also read Ford's Rock Springs and anything you can get a hold of by Raymond Carver. These men write about our lives, not the lives we all wish we had. Wolff is an in-your-face writer that punches home all his points with clear language and just hard writing. Also check out In The Garden of the North American Martyrs and The Night in Question--other collections of his.
