really liked it

Reading Thomas Wolfe is the antidote to a fractured attention span in the age of social media. You simply have to pay attention to the work, and the rewards are immense. So many passages are lyrical and evoke so many circumstances and imagery ~ universal, in a sense, so relatable, and almost poetically revealed with a stunning mastery and breadth of language. I actually liked Look Homeward, Angel better but this is a remarkable work as well. It made me think, as the author does, of our place in and passage through the world, and the brief span of time we are allocated.

David Allen Hines By far, one of my favorite books!! I'm so sorry this book is not better known and more commonly available today!


Suzy Agreed! I have been thinking about it in the days after finishing it. Would have given it five stars but for a minor thought that he needed a bit more editing, reducing duplicate words and too-similar passages, which in some cases worked almost as poetry but in others dragged it a bit. On the other hand, who on earth am I to argue with Thomas Wolfe! Otherwise, yes, so memorable.
