Quote of the Day (Tobias Wolff, on Writers Apart)


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

(The photo of 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.)
