"Look Homeward, Angelis one of the most important novels of my life. . . . It's a wonderful story for any young person burning with literary ambition, but it also speaks to the longings of our whole lives; I'm still moved by Wolfe's ability to convey the human appetite for understanding and experience."-- Elizabeth Kostova, author ofThe Historian, "Language as rich and ambitious and intensely American as any of our novelists has ever accomplished." -- Charles Frazier, author of Cold Mountain and Thirteen Moons, "Wolfe made it possible to believe that the stuff of life, with all its awe and mystery and magic, could by some strange alchemy be transmuted to the page."-- William Gay, author of "The Long Home", " Look Homeward, Angel is one of the most important novels of my life. . . .

In Wolfe, everything was heroically outsized, whether it was the voracious appetite for experience of Eugene Gant, the hero of his first two novels, or of George Webber, the hero of his last two. The hero's loneliness, his egocentrism, his sprawling consciousness gave rise to a tone of elegiac lyricism that was endlessly sustained by the raw yearning for an epic existence-for an epic American existence. And, in those postwar years, what imaginative young reader didn't yearn for that?, ""Look Homeward, Angel" is one of the most important novels of my life. . . .
