Wolfe Thomas

LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL

In his seminal work, 'Look Homeward, Angel,' Thomas Wolfe provides readers with a poignant and introspective exploration of human existence in the early 20th century American South. The novel is a rich tapestry of vivid scenes and detailed character portraits that capture the essence of small-town life and the complexities of family relationships. Wolfe's lyrical prose and stream-of-consciousness style make for a deeply immersive reading experience that delves into themes of longing, identity, and the search for meaning in a rapidly changing world. This novel remains a classic in American literature for its profound insights into human nature and the eloquence with which it conveys the human experience. The novel is a must-read for anyone interested in Southern literature, coming-of-age stories, and the complexities of family dynamics.

    Lost. He understood that men were forever strangers to one another, that no one ever comes really to know any one, that imprisoned in the dark womb of

    our mother, we come to life without having seen her face, that we are given to her arms a stranger, and that, caught in that insoluble prison of being, we escape it never, no matter what arms may clasp us, what mouth may kiss us, what heart may warm us. Never, never, never, never, never.

    Strangest of all, he thought, was this union, by which he had begotten children, created a life dependent on him, with a woman so remote from all he understood.

    As she lay in her bed, a great star burned across her vision in the western quarter of the sky; she fancied it was climbing heaven slowly. And although she could not have said toward what pinnacle her life was moving, she saw in the future freedom that she had never known, possession and power and wealth, the desire for which was mixed inextinguishably with the current of her blood. Thinking of this in the dark, she pursed her lips with thoughtful satisfaction, unhumorously seeing herself at work in the carnival, taking away quite easily from the hands of folly what it had never known how to keep.
