"Thomas Wolfson writes movingly of his lifelong struggle to survive the influence of his colorful, piece-of-work father. If Ahab, who had his own battle with the ultimate father, had a son who wrote a bildungsroman, this is how it might turn out."
"Thomas Wolfson has skillfully crafted together a collection of richly-detailed stories that take the reader on a compelling journey through a life of galactic range always with his feet in the sand of the earth, at the same time reaching into the inexpressable spiritual world beyond. The characters in these stories are totally alive and believable. More than once, I ran into people I recognized in my own life."
"I have experienced Tom Wolfson's powerful stage presence as an actor, and The Blackfish Inheritance gives the reader an experience no less vital with gravitas, humanity, humor, and deep insight. I found it a very engaging and important read."
