Thomas Wolfe
Thomas Wolfe is an American writer best known for his autobiographical novels, including Look Homeward, Angel (1929) and the posthumously published You Can’t Go Home Again (1940). Wolfe wrote four novels and many short stories, dramatic works, and novellas, that all vividly reflect on American culture, filtered through his sensitive, sophisticated and hyper-analytical perspective. Wolfe inspired the works of many other authors, including Betty Smith with A Tree Grows in Brooklyn and Robert Morgan with Gap Creek.
