About this event

TVCRI Book Club:
"This Boy’s Life" by Tobias Wolf
The TVC Book Club discusses Tobias Wolff's memoir, “This Boy's Life” (1989), about a mother and son trying to survive in 1950s America.
Separated from his father and brother and without good male role models, Wolff struggles with his identity and self-respect when his mother moves the two of them across the country. They eventually settle in northern Washington where Wolff finds himself in a battle of wills with a hostile stepfather. Wolff's various schemes—running away to Alaska, forging checks, and stealing cars—lead to an act of self-invention that releases him into a new world of possibility.
