Author Description
People best know American writer
Thomas Clayton Wolfe
for his autobiographical novels, including
Look Homeward, Angel
(1929) and the posthumously published
You Can't Go Home Again
(1940).
Wolfe wrote four lengthy novels and many short stories, dramatic works and novellas. He mixed highly original, poetic, rhapsodic, and impressionistic prose with autobiographical writing. Wolfe wrote and published books that vividly reflect on American culture and the mores, filtered through his sensitive, sophisticated and hyper-analytical perspective. People widely knew him during his own lifetime.
Wolfe inspired the works of many other authors, including
Betty Smith
with
A Tree Grows in Brooklyn
,
Robert Morgan
with
Gap Creek
;
Pat Conroy
, author of
Prince of Tides
, said, "My writing career began the instant I finished
Look Homeward, Angel
."
Jack Kerouac
idolized Wolfe. Wolfe influenced
Ray Bradbury
, who included Wolfe as a character in his books.
