Tobias Wolff, born in Birmingham, Alabama, experienced a tumultuous childhood marked by frequent relocations and the challenges of an abusive step-father. It was during this time that his passion for writing developed, nurtured by his older brother. After attending the Hill School in Pennsylvania, Wolff served in the US Army, including a tour in Vietnam. Following his military service, he pursued higher education at Oxford University, where he earned his BA and MA degrees. Wolff's literary career flourished with the publication of his novel Ugly Rumours and the release of his acclaimed short story collection, In the Garden of the North American Martyrs. He later joined the faculty at Syracuse University, where he taught for seventeen years before returning to Stanford University as the Ward W. and Priscilla B. Woods Professor. Wolff's contributions to literature have garnered recognition through grants and fellowships from esteemed foundations and institutions.
