I read Wolff's "Old School" about a year ago and loved it; there's an examined, cautious admiration of tradition there that I think is hard to come by now.
Beautiful in every way and so true and how he remains an icon for us writers and human beings who love his work. Wolff’s stories are still with me decades after I first read Back in the World. I loved the idea of the writer’s purpose: of yes, you’re going to die but isn’t it all still burial.
This is a beautiful tribute and piece of writing. What I love about it is how it captures what many of us have heard and seen about what makes a great writer. Comfort, consolation, making good problems, changing hearts and minds. Thank you, Mr. Saunders and Mr. Wolff.

Auto correct. Should’ve been beautiful not burial. 🫤
