Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938) was an American novelist and short story writer. He is best known for his novel Look Homeward, Angel (1929), which was a semi-autobiographical account of his childhood and early adulthood in North Carolina. His other works include Of Time and the River (1935), The Web and the Rock (1939), and You Can't Go Home Again (1940). Wolfe was born in Asheville, North Carolina, and attended the University of North Carolina at Chapel Hill. After graduating, he moved to New York City, where he worked as a journalist and editor for a number of magazines. He also wrote plays and short stories, and was a frequent contributor to The New Republic and The New Yorker. Wolfe's writing style was characterized by its vividness and its use of long, lyrical sentences. He was also known for his use of stream-of-consciousness narrative, which allowed him to capture the inner thoughts and feelings of his characters. Wolfe died in 1938 at the age of 37, after a brief illness. His posthumously published works include The Hills Beyond (1941) and The October Fair (1941).
