THIS BOY'S LIFE

An acclaimed memoir, chronicling the tumultuous events of his early life and the strange and eventful process of growing up
Description

At just ten years old, Tobias Wolff is reluctantly on the road. His restless, spirited mother is desperate to build a life for them both, but Tobias is struggling with this ever-changing routine. When they finally reach Utah, he decides to change his name to Jack, after his hero Jack London, because he longs for adventure and to start afresh. This Boy's Life traces Jack's experiences growing up against the background of a violent and wildly optimistic America.
