Look Homeward, Angel

By: Thomas Wolfe

Narrated by: Scott Sowers

The works of Thomas Wolfe cemented his legacy as one of the very best of the American Southern writers. Wolfe's largely autobiographical novel features Eugene Gant, who pines for a more expansive life after being born to a father whose bouts of maniacal raving are fueled by a prodigious appetite for drink.©1957 Edward C.

Classic and also dated. Captures a time and a subculture

Wolfe’s descriptions of nature and the North Carolina countryside are eloquent. His vocabulary is brilliant. The novel can be tedious; it could have used more editing; a sad family saga

beautifully written, boring story

I enjoyed the beauty in the words and there were some memorable characters. narration was great. story itself was very dull.

Monumental.

One of the finest works of American fiction, and easily the best narration I've ever enjoyed.

Tedious

Overly detailed and flowery. Not much plot. A boy’s twisted journey to a confused adulthood.
