Synopsis of This Boy's Life
Este libro es una memoria inolvidable de la infancia en la década de 1950, un verdadero clásico moderno. Nos presenta al joven Toby Wolff, a veces duro y vulnerable, astuto y torpe. Separado por el divorcio de su padre y su hermano, Toby y su madre están constantemente en movimiento, sin embargo, desarrollan una relación extraordinariamente cercana, casi telepática. Mientras Toby lucha por la identidad y el autorespeto contra la implacable hostilidad de un nuevo padrastro, sus experiencias son a la vez conmovedoras y cómicas. Wolff hace un trabajo magistral al recrear las frustraciones y crueldades de la adolescencia. Sus diversos esquemas (huir a Alaska, falsificar cheques y robar autos) conducen finalmente a un acto de escandalosa autoinvención que lo libera en un nuevo mundo de posibilidades.
