Download or read book Thomas Wolfe written by Joanne Marshall Mauldin and published by Univ. of Tennessee Press. This book was released on 2007 with total page 384 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Maudlin challenges much of the existing biographical material on the writer and offers a fresh view on the final years of his life. Through the utilization of primary and secondary sources including letters, interviews, recordings, and newspaper clippings, Mauldin offers a candid account of the life of Thomas Wolfe from the time of his visit to North Carolina in 1937 until his untimely death in 1938. Mauldin chronicles details of Wolfe's shocking change in publishers and his complex relationships with his editors, family, friends, and his mistress. This examination goes beyond Wolfe's life and extends into the period after his death, revealing details about the reaction of family and friends to the passing of this literary legend, as well as the cavalierpublishing practices of his posthumous editors. Mauldin's narrative is unique from other biographical accounts of Thomas Wolfe in that it focuses solely on the final years in the life of the author.

Download or read book Thomas Wolfe Interviewed 1929 1938 written by Aldo P. Magi and published by LSU Press. This book was released on 2002-03-01 with total page 160 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: In Thomas Wolfe Interviewed, 1929–1938, Aldo P. Magi and Richard Walser have brought together twenty-five accounts of Thomas Wolfe talking to the press—ranging from the first interview he gave, a conversation with a student journalist for New York University’s Daily News, to the last, an interview with the Portland Sunday Oregonian in July 1938, only a few months before his death. These encounters with the working press have an appealing intimacy rarely found in biographies or scholarly studies. Wolfe, always happy to meet with journalists, was ever ready to talk about the writing of Look Homeward, Angel, about Scribner’s acceptance of the manuscript, and about the book’s popular reception. “As my book began to grow before me, a wild sense of exultation and joyous elation seized me,” he told an interviewer for the Rocky Mountain News. Walking along New York’s Fifth Avenue with another interviewer just after Look Homeward, Angel’s appearance, Wolfe spotted a copy prominently displayed in a bookstore window and proudly pointed it out. “His eyes came away from the window unwillingly,” the reporter noted. Nor did Wolfe shy away from addressing the outrage his first novel occasioned in his hometown. “If they think I have intended to case reflections on my old home and my own people they have gone far wrong,” he told an interviewer for the Asheville Times. Wolfe talked about his southern upbringing, his education, his frequent trips to Europe, and his life in New York. He enjoyed discussing his favorite authors and books, as well as what he himself planned to write in the future. Wolfe had tremendous faith in America’s ability to produce a great national literature. Headnotes and afterwords place each interview in perspective, heightening the reader’s grasp of the varied situations in which Wolfe met with reporters. In some instances, the interviewers themselves reflect on their meetings with Wolfe. For these interviews the journalists had no tape recorders and did not conduct the sort of length, in-depth interviews that have now become common. The interviews are, instead, often the products of several hours of questioning, put together from jotted down notes and from the reporters’ memories. Since most of these interviews have been buried in newspaper archives for decades, even veteran Wolfe scholars will find much here that is fresh and useful.

Download or read book Looking Homeward written by Morton I. Teicher and published by University of Missouri Press. This book was released on 1993 with total page 224 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: American novelist Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938) led a short but turbulent life. His writing was almost purely autobiographical, poignantly capturing his experiences and pursuits. Wolfe had a gift for illuminating his life so that the reader could almost visualize his painful youth and tumultuous manhood. Now, for the first time, in Looking Homeward, Morton Teicher lets us see all of the real-life people and places behind the fiction of Thomas Wolfe in a collection of 245 snapshots that chronicle this great writer's life in a way that mere words cannot. Wolfe's family and friends took a remarkable number of photographs, and Teicher has spent decades collecting these images. With photos ranging from W.O. Wolfe, Thomas's strong-willed father, to Aline Bernstein, the older, married womand Wolfe desperately loved, from Wolfe's hometown of Asheville, North Carolina, to the hospital where he died, Teicher has compiled a comprehensive photographic history of Thomas Wolfe. Childhood photographs and snapshots of siblings, friends, teachers, and editors are shown, as well as Wolfe's many vacation photos. Looking Homeward is complete with images of the original dust jackets for Wolfe's books and a section on artistic renderings of Wolfe. With captions and an introduction that indicate the parallels between the life and the fiction, as well as a chronology, this book will be pure pleasure for any Wolfe fan and an important resource for students of literature. Teicher has provided an engrossing sequence of looks at one of America's great novelists.
