About this product

Product Information

Thomas Wolfe's autobiographical first novel is a wild, epic chronicle of family, inheritance and identity, from one of the most vital and mercurial voices of early twentieth-century literature. The first novel by the great American novelist, now the subject of a major new film, Genius, starring Jude Law, Colin Firth, Dominic West and Nicole Kidman. Eugene Gant, born in 1900 to hard-drinking stone-cutter Oliver and entrepreneurial Eliza, grows up in small-town America. Both lonely outsider and passionate chronicler of American life, Eugene experiences upheaval and family tragedy before coming to realise that he must leave his home behind if he is to forge his own path in the world. This is the dazzlingly rich first novel from one of the most brilliant and mercurial voices of early twentieth-century, who was a major influence on writers including Hunter S. Thompson, Ray Bradbury, Philip Roth and the Beats. This new edition includes an introduction by Elizabeth Kostova, author of The Historian. Wolfe's second novel, Of Time and the River, continuing the story of Eugene Gant, is also now available in Penguin Classics.

Great book.
Not a huge reader, but couldn't put this down. I wanted to read it, coz I was reading Tab Hunters auto biography and his boyfriend at the time, Anthony Perkins, was reading it in one of the pictures, and he was in a play version of it? And I was curious, and glad I was, coz it's such a great small American story and really dragged me into the way of life back in the 1900s and through the authors life, like vivid pictures. I love how books can do that, take you away from your actual life, like going to see a show or going on holiday... Its a great read, fooking buy it.
