Yep, I‘m a Wolff fan. Elliptical prose, telling AROUND the story, nesting tales like Carver or Bolaño. Odd, isolated characters. Power struggles: mother/daught, teacher/student, wife/husb, salesman/buyer. Clichés. Distance. “it struck me that the banal is sometimes what‘s most true.” Quiet violence. “There are times when you manage to apply the exact amount of force required to get what you want.” “Sour grapes covets all.” Solid translation, 2016.
