    Thomas Wolfe

    American writer
    thomaswolfe.org

    Thomas Clayton Wolfe was an American novelist. He is known largely for his first novel, Look Homeward, Angel, and for the short fiction that appeared during the last years of his life. He was one of the pioneers of autobiographical fiction, and along with William Faulkner, he is considered one of the most important authors of the Southern Renaissance within the American literary canon. He has been dubbed "North Carolina's most famous writer". Wolfe wrote four long novels as well as many short stories, dramatic works, and novellas. He is known for mixing highly original, poetic, rhapsodic, and impressionistic prose with autobiographical writing. His books, written and published from the 1920s to the 1940s, vividly reflect on the American culture and mores of that period, filtered through Wolfe's sensitive and uncomfortable perspective. After Wolfe's death, Faulkner said that he might have been the greatest talent of their generation, aiming higher than any other writer. Wikipedia

    Wolfe's importance is, therefore, twofold: as argued above, the inherent stature of his work is deeply impressive, and as already noted he wears the fictional worlds of sf like a coat of many colours: the polychromatic density of his greatest stories seems revelatory: there is much yet to discover.
