Ketti Drama - Frings
Hardcover
(Charles Scribner, March 15, 1958)
"Look Homeward, Angel" is the coming-of-age story of Eugene Gant, whose restlessness and yearning to experience life to the fullest take him from his rural home in North Carolina to Harvard. Through his rich, ornate prose and meticulous attention to detail, Wolfe evokes the peculiarities of small-town life and the pain and upheaval of leaving home. Heavily autobiographical, "Look Homeward, Angel" is Wolfe's most turbulent and passionate work, and a brilliant novel of lasting impact.
