Known mainly for his short stories and memoirs, Tobias Wolff (great name) joins the list of authors listed above for one main reason: he has been profoundly influenced by these writers, and he makes Hemingway, Rand, and the poet Robert Frost real characters in his novel Old School.
Wolff's most popular works are This Boy's Life (a memoir made into a movie starring Robert DeNiro and Leonardo DeCaprio) and Old School (his first novel).
