Review In This Boys Life Tobias Wolf created an unforgettable memoir of an American childhood. Now he gives us a precisely and sometimes pitilessly remembered account of his young manhood - a young manhood that become entangled in the tragic adventure that was Vietnam. Mordantly funny, searingly honest, In Pharoahs Army is a war memoir in the tradition of George Orwell and Michael Herr. Whether he is evoking the blind carnage of the Tet offensive, the theatrics of his fellow Americans, or the unraveling of his own illusions, Wolff brings to this work the same uncanny eye for detail, pitiless candor and mordant wit that made This Boys Life a modern classic. From Publishers Weekly Wolffs memoir of his disillusioning experience as a soldier in Vietnam was a finalist for the NBA. Copyright 1995 Reed Business Information, Inc. Review Painful...powerful...brilliant. The book is remarkable in its language, which is as supple and distilled as any contemporary American writers; in its economy; in its structure; and, most of all, in its candor, humor, and generosity of spirit...By every measure of feeling and technique, its a magnificent and sobering achievement. -- Chicago Tribune From the Inside Flap Whether he is evoking the blind carnage of the Tet offensive, the theatrics of his fellow Americans, or the unraveling of his own illusions, Wolff brings to this work the same uncanny eye for detail, pitiless candor and mordant wit that made This Boys Life a modern classic. About the Author Tobias Wolff lives in Northern California and teaches at Stanford University. He has received the Rea Award for excellence in the short story, the Los Angeles Times Book Prize, and the PEN/Faulkner Award.
