About this title

Synopsis

Written by the author of "The Barracks Thief", "This Boy's Life" and "Hunters in the Snow", this collection of stories looks at how people rewrite their own histories, and examines how revenge, as another urge to put things right, can take curious forms.

Review

Tobias Wolff has earned the deep respect of his many readers for direct, compelling stories marked by honesty and insight. The Night in Question is a collection of fifteen short works tied together by Wolff's upright style and unyielding interest in those moments when moral confusion crystallizes into clear, shining action and understanding. His characters, situations, and themes become familiar over time: children recognize the failings of their parents, men and women attempt to bridge the distance between themselves, and singular events shape everyday feelings into a new and more meaningful reality.
