Wolfe Classicist of North Carolina Values Bold Life Over Form
A British review defends Thomas Wolfe against faint praise comparing him to Faulkner. It argues Wolfe’s four novels form one life story of Eugene Gant and George Webber, praising their vitality, expansive chronicle style, and refusal to fit modern critical schemas. Wolfe’s works, though unruly, depict a rich gallery of characters and life, urging readers to quarry their abundance rather than seek orderly plots.
