Thomas Clayton Wolfe (October 3, 1900–September 15, 1938) was an important American novelist of the 20th century. He wrote four lengthy novels, plus many short stories, dramatic works, and novel fragments. He is known for mixing highly original, poetic, rhapsodical, and impressionistic prose with autobiographical writing. His books, written during the Great Depression, depicted the variety and diversity of American culture.
Biography
A native of Asheville, North Carolina, he studied at the University of North Carolina, was a member of the UNC Dialectic Society, acted with the Carolina Playmakers, and received his Masters in playwriting at Harvard University. Unable to sell any of his plays, Wolfe found his writing style was more suited to fiction than to the stage. He took a temporary job teaching at New York University, but left after a year for Europe to continue writing. On his return voyage in 1925, he met the married Aline Bernstein who was twenty years his senior. They soon began a turbulent and sometimes combative affair. He dedicated his first novel, Look Homeward, Angel, to Bernstein. Soon after its publication, he fled to Europe once more, thereby ending his affair. More on [ Thomas Wolfe ]
