Biographical Note

Tobias Wolff was born in Birmingham, Alabama in 1945. The events of his early life form the basis of his bestselling memoir, This Boy's Life (published 1989). After his parents' separation when he was 4 years old, Wolff was raised by his mother, Rosemary, in Washington state, and lost contact with his brother Geoffrey, who went to live with their father on the East Coast; the two were reunited later in life. (Geoffrey Wolff has published his own memoir about their biological father, The Duke of Deception ). Rosemary subsequently married an abusive man, and Tobias escaped by fabricating his grades and extracurriculars to get into The Hill School. Upon the discovery of his forged transcripts, he was expelled. Wolff is also the author of a second memoir, In Pharaoh's Army (published 1994), about his U.S. Army service in Vietnam from 1964 to 1968.

In addition to his memoirs, Wolff is also known for his short stories, which have been published in The New Yorker and The Atlantic and have been collected in the volumes In the Garden of the North American Martyrs (1981), Back in the World (1985), The Night in Question (1996), and Our Story Begins (2008). He won the PEN/Faulkner Award in 1985 for his Vietnam novella The Barrack's Thief.

Wolff taught creative writing at Syracuse University from 1980 until 1997, where he served on the faculty with Raymond Carver and mentored writers including Tom Perrotta, Alice Sebold, and Paul Watkins. He left Syracuse in 1997 in the fallout from the Stephen Dobyns sexual harassment case and now serves on the faculty at Stanford University.

Scope and Contents

Series I. Writings consists of manuscripts and drafts of Tobias Wolff's works, including fragments and early papers. The series begins with short pieces published in various periodicals and then segues into his published books. The series also includes materials on movie adaptations of Wolff's work, notably two scripts of the 1993 adaptation of This Boy's Life in which Leonardo diCaprio played Wolff and Robert De Niro played Wolff's stepfather.

Series II. Correspondence consists of largely incoming personal and professional correspondence from Wolff's circle of friends, including many writers from Syracuse University. Of particular note are letters from author Raymond Carver to Wolff.

Series III. Childhood and Family consists of family correspondence, family photographs, and Wolff's coursework for school. The series includes some letters from Wolff to his mother, Rosemary (Loftus) Hutchins while he was in Vietnam, as well as Rosemary's memoirs, which describe her early life, her marriage to Geoffrey and Tobias's father, Duke, through Tobias's first year at The Hill School.

Wolff's teaching files, interviews and reviews, and born-digital material complete the collection.

Arrangement

This collection is arranged into the following series: I. Writings, II. Correspondence, III. Childhood and Family, IV. Professional Files, and V. Audio-Visual and Born Digital.

The correspondence series generally maintains Wolff's categories for filing ("Nice letters," "Letters from writers A," "Letters from writers B," etc.), though chronological arrangement was added and correspondence from single individuals was separated out where there was a sizeable amount.
