Look Homeward, Angel

Thomas Wolfe

Scribner, 2006

A tour de force of pure emotion
Thomas Wolfe reminds me of the eager kid who was smarter than the rest, surging ahead for pure love of learning and life itself. This transcendental outlook pervades this meandering story which in lesser hands would become saccharine, but veers away from that precipice ...

The Web and the Rock (Voices of the South)

Thomas Wolfe

Louisiana State University Press, 1999

One of the Finest Books in the English Language
I am astounded that such a moving, powerful, and lyrical book is out of print. Wolfe writes with such a commanding and passionate love of language. His prose *is* poetry. There are passages in this book that rank with the most romantic and ethereal ever written. The ...

Midnight Thirsts: Erotic Tales: Erotic Tales of the Vampire

Michael Thomas Ford, Greg Herren, ...

Kensington, 2004

Creative, erotic "gay vampire" collection
I'll admit I first added this book to my Amazon "wish list" shortly after its announcement, thinking it was the latest in Herren's mystery tales. Since I am not usually a fan of the "vampire" fiction genre, I usually would not have chosen this book, a 321-page ...

You Can't Go Home Again

Thomas Wolfe

Harper Perennial Modern Classics, 1998

Literary marvel; not for everyone
Before you read "You Can't Go Home Again," make sure you have read "Look Homeward Angel." Wolfe's novels are essentially romanticized autobiographies, and although Eugene Gant and George Weber are not exactly the same character, they both represent the author ...

The Politics of Memory in Postwar Europe

Duke University Press, 2006

For sixty years, different groups in Europe have put forth interpretations of World War II and their respective countries? roles in it consistent with their own political and psychological needs. The conflict over the past has played out in diverse arenas, including film, memoirs, court cases, and textbooks. It has had profound implications for ...

O Lost: A Story of the Buried Life

Thomas Wolfe

University of South Carolina Press, 2000

Time regained
What a wonderful book. It's too bad so many readers today know only Tom Wolfe, not Thomas Wolfe. Even though it has been at least 10 years since reading Look Homewood Angel, I knew almost immediately when I came to the new sections. They add a depth to the novel, ...

Of Time and the River: A Legend of Man's Hunger in His Youth (Scribner Classics)

Thomas Wolfe

Scribner, 1999

of time and the river
It was early 1980 when I first read "Look Homeward.." for a University of Colorado course. The professor who seemed to be a hundred years old to me at the time instructed me to read my critical report to the entire class. After smugly concluding Wolfe was lacking in ...

From Bauhaus to Our House

Thomas Wolfe

Pocket, 1983

Amusing and Clever
I am apparently getting really good at randomly picking up books that few people have reviewed. I picked this one up randomly which seems appropriate. I found this and put it up on top of my monitor. It's a small book and is about architecture and I glanced inside ...

The Four Lost Men: The Previously Unpublished Long Version, Including the Original Short Story

Thomas Wolfe

University of South Carolina Press, 2008

A recommended consideration for any community or college library collection of enduring literary works
Thomas Wolfe's literary classic "The Four Lost Men: The Previously Unpublished Long Version" was published as a short story in 1934, with a length of only seven thousand words. Now republished with a literary critique from Arlyn & Matthew J. Bruccolli, the story sports ...

The Hills Beyond (Voices of the South)

Thomas Wolfe

Louisiana State University Press, 2000

Far and Away
This collection of stories is far and away the best sampling of his true literary mastery. I have always enjoyed Southern writers (Faulkner,Capote,..), but Wolfe touches a particular vein of the satirical social landscape of the South that is unmatched. His work, I ...

The Complete Short Stories Of Thomas Wolfe

Thomas Wolfe

Scribner, 1989

Trancendent Reading Experience
I've treasured this work of Mr. Wolfe's since purchasing it in the first edition in 1988. I can think of few authors who can transport their readership into relms of utter beauty and transcedence. Experiencing them is a gift to behold. A MUST start for those who have ...

Thomas Wolfe's Civil War
Thomas Wolfe

Fire Ant Books, 2004

This collection of Thomas Wolfe's writings demonstrates the centrality of the Civil War to Wolfe's literary concerns and identity. From Look Homeward, Angel to The Hills Beyond and The Web and the Rock, Wolfe perpetually returned to the themes of loss, dissolution, sorrow, and romance engendered in the minds of many southerners by the Civil War ...

Of Time and the River: A Legend of Man's Hunger in His Youth

Thomas Wolfe

Charles Scribner's Sons, 1980

Brimming With Passion, Fury, and Intensity
In the opinion of many, Thomas Wolfe and Theodore Dreiser were two of the finest writers to emerge in the first half of the twentieth century. Dreiser interpreted contemporary events and spun them into finely crafted novels that painted a complete picture of American ...
