"Geoffrey Wolff was born in Hollywood, California, as the first son to "Duke" Arthur Samuels and Rosemary (née Loftus) Wolff. He is the older brother of the novelist and memoirist Tobias Wolff. Their parents separated when Geoffrey was twelve, his brother living with their mother, and Geoffrey with their father; their parents eventually divorced. He has described the adventure of his upbringing with his father on the East Coast in an acclaimed memoir, The Duke of Deception (1979) , which was runner-up for the Pulitzer Prize. (Tobias has treated with similar candor his own years with their mother in a memoir, This Boy's Life, published in 1989.) " (from Wikipedia). Near Fine in Near Fine dust jacket .
