Item Details
Description
WOLFE, Thomas (1900-1938). Look Homeward, Angel. A Story of the Buried Life. New York: Charles Scribner's Sons, 1929.

8vo. Original blue cloth lettered in gold (lettering on spine slightly dulled); in unclipped dust jacket with Wolfe's photo on the rear panel (a few tears or minor losses restored with some color retouched). Provenance: Charles (presentation inscription).

FIRST EDITION, PRESENTATION COPY, INSCRIBED BY WOLFE ON THE DATE OF PUBLICATION: "For Charles with cordial regards Tom Wolfe Oct 18, 1929."

IN THE FIRST STATE JACKET with Wolfe's photo by Doris Ulmann on the rear panel. Set in fictional Altamont, Catawba, North Carolina, Look Homeward, Angel is the semi-autobiographical coming-of-age story of Eugene Gant. Immediate critical response was generally positive. In her review for The New York Times, Margaret Wallace wrote that Wolfe's work was "as interesting and powerful a book as has ever been made out of the drab circumstances of provincial American life."
