| 520 | |a This unforgettable, memoir of boyhood in the 1950s, introduces the young Toby Wolff, by turns tough and vulnerable, crafty and bumbling. Separatd by divorce from his father and brother, Toby and his mother are constantly on the move. As he fights for identity and self-respect against the unrelenting hostility of a new stepfather, his experiences are at once poignant and comical, and Wolff masterfully re-creates the frustrations, cruelties, and joys of adolescence. His various schemes-----running away to Alaska, forging checks, and stealing cars-lead eventually to an act of outrageous self-invention that releases him into a new world of possibility. | ||
