| | By early 1933 [Wolfe’s second novel] was four times as long as the uncut version of the first [which was 300,000 words] — and growing at a rate of 50,000 words a month. | | | I must have picked up, abandoned and restarted Thomas Wolfe’s You Can’t Go Home Again at least seventeen times before I finally got the rhythm of his modifiers and began to enjoy his language and insights enough to read the whole thing. | | | It was published as Of Time and the River, and though another of Perkins’s authors, Hemingway, said it was "something over 60 per cent shit", it became a bestseller. |

| | 'Surely he had a thing to tell us.': Thomas Wolfe in Asheville ~ Reported by Gaither Stewart |
| | When he was told that because of budgetary limitations the library had no books by native son and bad boy Thomas Wolfe, he rushed to a bookstore, bought two copies of Wolfe’s banned novels and slammed them down on the library table. | | | A boy of Wolfe’s imagination imprisoned there could think that what was beyond was all wonderful—different from what it was where there was not enough of anything for him.” | | | That’s the town Wolfe seemed to attack in his masterpiece, Look Homeward Angel, published in 1929 when he was 29 years old. |
