Good enough to eat.


Thank you for publishing Paul Contino's article on Tobias Wolff Tobias Jonathan Ansell Wolff (born June 19, 1945, in Birmingham, Alabama) is a writer of fiction and nonfiction.

He is best known for his short stories and his memoirs, although he has written two novels (most recently Old School).
 ("This Writer's Life," October 21.) When I finished reading it, I ran to the library and was lucky to find two of Wolff's books, and then I ordered others online. I am consuming them like candy candy: see confectionery.
