Long regarded as one of our finest short-story writers, TOBIAS WOLFF is equally renowned for his memoirs, This Boy’s Life and In Pharoah’s Army, and he is now in the process of finishing a novel. A beloved professor at Stanford University, he is also—as he so memorably demonstrates in Ken Burns’ Hemingway documentary—a profound reader of other writers’ works and lives. Novelist JOHN BURNHAM SCHWARTZ sits down with Wolff to discuss life, literature, craft, and the neverending mysteries and revelations that come from spending one’s time inhabiting the minds of others.
