Recenzii

In 1949, when I was sixteen, I stumbled on Thomas Wolfe, who died at thirty-eight in 1938, and who made numerous adolescents aside from me devotees of literature for life
He had that flair for the extravagant and fantastic which has been an American characteristic from Irving and Poe to Dashiell Hammett
Wolfe wrote as one inspired. No one in his generation had his command of language, his passion, his energy
The product of an immense exuberance, organic in its form, kinetic, and drenched with the love of life ... I rejoice over Mr. Wolfe
