Narration Supposing Books You Can't Go Home Again

George Webber has written a successful novel about his family and hometown. When he returns to that town he is shaken by the force of the outrage and hatred that greets him. Family and friends feel naked and exposed by the truths they have seen in his book, and their fury drives him from his home. He begins a search for his own identity that takes him to New York and a hectic social whirl; to Paris with an uninhibited group of expatriates; to Berlin, lying cold and sinister under Hitler's shadow. At last Webber returns to America and rediscovers it with love, sorrow, and hope.

Assessment Epithetical Books You Can't Go Home Again

If there has been a perfect writer it was Thomas Wolfe. A writer who can describe emotions, feelings, people and places in a way that the reader would live through every sentence written in his books. Wolfe writes and when they laughed, there was no warmth or joy in the sound: high, shrill, ugly, and hysterical, their laughter only asked the earth to notice them and you can imagine, understand and see those people described by one sentence. Or he can describe a persons gaze by an inner monologue

The title is wonderful. The prose is long and seems dated. This is a very slow read but does capture a period of turmoil in the 20th century. I read it for a book group years ago, and often cursed the member who suggested it. My recollection was that we had to skip a month and most members of the group didn't finish it.

Thomas Wolfe's masterpiece is Look Homeward, Angel that I have read and reviewed. I give this book 4 stars only in relation to the 5 stars of the earlier work. This book also draws on Wolfe's personal experience but is more a look at the world of the late 1920's and 1930's with Wolfe's philosophy. That philosophy empathizes with the little guy, the pursuit of wealth blinding to reality those who achieve it.I thoroughly enjoyed the book for its ability to take me back to the early 20th century,

I finally finished this 704-page tome. It took me almost a year: I kept putting it down--sometimes for weeks at a time--and picking it back up again. Every time I started reading it again I was always glad, though, because I really liked his writing. There were a couple of chapters that I thought were overly long, and possibly 100 or so pages could have been cut entirely without leaving the novel lacking. However, I'm glad he rambled on because he led me to some beautiful places. Thomas Wolfe

What an incredible book. Wolfe is extraordinarily insightful and is a keen observer of human nature. He rambles quite a bit and goes off on all sorts of tangents, but the prose is so strong that in the end I didn't mind that so much. Probably some people would lose patience with that. From a lesser writer, I know I would have.I actually bought this book some years ago and it had just been sitting on my bookshelf (this happens to me often because I often buy books faster than II can finish

The paperback version of this novel is 711 pages long. This novel is a saga about George Webber, a prototype for the author, Thomas Wolfe. The novel depicts events at least three levels: George Webber's struggle to write novels and gain acceptance by other novelists and publishers; America's transformation from the go-go 20's to economic ruin and depression in the 1930's; and how Webber seeks salvation by sailing to England and Germany in the mid 1930's, a few years before the start of World War

Faulkner called Wolfe the best of their generation, "the finest failure." I admire most the scope of Wolfe's writing. It seems at times that he was trying to capture all of America in a single novel, and if he didn't quite make it he comes very, very close. And he was, at his heart, hopeful: Wolfe believed in the possibility of religious transcendence and he believed in America, and the possibilities it had. Those twin optimisms, to me, lie at the heart of the very best moments of this novel.
