Look home, angel! A story of buried life

When "Look Homeward, Angel!" was published in 1929, the novel by the then 29-year-old Thomas Wolfe hit like a bomb. The Nobel Prize-winning author Sinclair Lewis described the work as "a colossal creation of deep zest for life," and William Faulkner praised Wolfe as the preeminent author of his generation. With the family epic about Eugene Gant, who turns his back on his family and the American province yet cannot escape his origins, Thomas Wolfe has created a novel that continues to captivate countless readers almost a century after its release.
