Wolfe’s first novel, a heavily autobiographical work tracing the life of Eugene Gant from childhood in a small Southern town through early adulthood. The book established Wolfe as a major voice in American literature, notable for its expansive, lyrical prose and its exploration of memory, identity, and place. First editions remain a cornerstone of twentieth-century American literary collecting, particularly in original cloth.
