Synopsis
The third and last book posthumously culled from the mountains of manuscripts Thomas Wolfe left behind when he died at the age of 37. It includes short stories and ten chapters from a longer piece of fiction, some of the work considered to be his best and most mature work. This work includes a Note of Thomas Wolfe by Edward C. Aswell, Wolfe's last editor who published three of his books after Wolfe's death.
