Wolff wasn't the first to write memoir in this way, but This Boy's Life remains a touchstone to me and many other writers. The four best memoirs I have ever read, and I have read too many, are Frank McCort's, Angela's Ashes, “Tobias Wolff's, “This Boy's Life,” Geoffrey Wolff's, “The Duke of Deception,” and Jeanette Walls, “The Glass Castle.”. Starting with: This Boy's Life, Tobias Wolff (1989): Wolff's memoir is the first that I remember reading.

Two that have worked well for us over the years are Annie Dillard's An American Childhood and Tobias Wolff's This Boy's Life, the former featuring a 7-year-old girl and the latter a teenage boy.

By that I mean exactly how many times Wolff used his “creative license. In This Boy's Life he often uses a group of characters to reveal the “I” to the reader. I Hear: Tobias Wolff's memoir This Boy's Life opens with a striking image: a childhood memory of seeing a tractor trailer lose control of its breaks and plummet over the side of a cliff.
