"There are writers who do start doing the same thing again and again and almost inevitably fall into self-parody."

Self

Tobias Wolff
"The short story, on the other hand, is the perfect American form."

Literature

Quote_1.png
Tobias Wolff
"I believe that the short story is as different a form from the novel as poetry is, and the best stories seem to me to be perhaps closer in spirit to poetry than to novels."

Poetry

Tobias Wolff
"That, for me, is a very important test of a young writer's commitment because most of them are going to have to continue doing that when they've finished the program."

Commitment

Quote_1.png
Tobias Wolff
"But a lot of writers - and I'm one of them - do tend to feel dissatisfied. It makes you a little hard to live with, but it's a goad and does keep you alert and restless."

Writing

Tobias Wolff
"Like so many writers I started writing stories because I didn't have much time for anything else."

Time

Quote_1.png
Tobias Wolff
"I try to help people become the best possible editors of their own work, to help them become conscious of the things they do well, of the things they need to look at again, of the wells of material they have not even begun to dip their buckets into."

Work

"You don't teach information in a writing workshop."

Information

Quote_1.png
Tobias Wolff
"I teach one semester a year, and this year I'm just teaching one course during that semester, a writing workshop for older students in their late 20s and early 30s, people in our graduate program who are already working on a manuscript and trying to bring it to completion."
