“Writers formed a society of their own outside the
common hierarchy. This gave them a power not conferred by privilege—the
power to create images of the system they stood apart form, and thereby to judge
it.” —Tobias Wolff, Old School: A Novel (2003)

Tobias Wolff accompanying this post was taken in April 2008 at an event at Kepler's
Books in Menlo Park, Calif., for Wolff’s short story collection OUR STORY
BEGINS.)
