The thomas wolfe Memorial Asheville, North Carolina thomas wolfe,1920. thomas wolfe left an indelible mark on American letters.
http://www.ah.dcr.state.nc.us/sections/hs/wolfe/Main.htm

Extractions: Website Tour for First-Time Visitors T homas Wolfe left an indelible mark on American letters. His mother's boardinghouse in Asheville, North Carolinanow the Thomas Wolfe Memorial has become one of literature's most famous landmarks. Named "Old Kentucky Home" by a previous owner, Wolfe immortalized the rambling Victorian structure as "Dixieland" in his epic autobiographical novel, Look Homeward, Angel . A classic of American literature, Look Homeward, Angel has never gone out of print since its publication in 1929, keeping interest in Wolfe alive and attracting visitors to the setting for this great novel. Thomas Clayton Wolfe, the last of his parents' eight children, was born on October 3, 1900, at 92 Woodfin Street in Asheville. His father, William Oliver Wolfe (1851-1922), was descended from hardy Pennsylvania German-English-Dutch farmers; his mother, Julia Elizabeth Westall Wolfe (1860-1945), was a third-generation North Carolinian of Scots-Irish-English stock. Julia Wolfe did not operate the boardinghouse out of any financial necessity. W. O. Wolfe could well afford to support the family with the earnings of the tombstone shop he owned and operated on Asheville's city square. But former teacher Julia Wolfe had an obsession for the real estate market and used her profits to buy more property. A shrewd and hard-nosed businesswoman, family members remembered Julia Wolfe as a "driver of hard bargains."
Episodic Writing
thomas wolfe, episodic writing, and the future of literary fiction beyond the book.
http://dsl.org/faq/episodic/

Extractions: There's an exciting style of writing, a kind of expanded fiction, which I've come to call `` episodic '' a romantic, lyrical style with an emphasis on setting, atmosphere and tone, a style true to life, an honest style, and I've discovered it fresh in my search for a voice and method in my own work, but as it turns out this style has a history to it and even a strong American tradition notably in the 20th century writers Jack Kerouac and Thomas Wolfe. Today, networked computers and copyleft provide new avenues of expression and exploration. This text presents an overview and history of episodic writing, discusses the technique as it relates to the work of Thomas Wolfe one of the greatest progenitors of the form and gives an outlook for this form in the future of literary fiction.

Creative Quotations From Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938)
Quotes from thomas wolfe to inspire your creative thinking
http://creativequotations.com/one/636.htm

Extractions: The whole conviction of my life now rests upon the belief that loneliness, far from being a rare and curious phenomenon, peculiar to myself and to a few other solitary men, is the central and inevitable fact of human existence. Men will often say they have 'found themselves' when they have really been worn down into a groove by the brutal and compulsive force of circumstance. If a man has talent and can't use it, he's failed. If he uses only half of it, he has partly failed. If he uses the whole of it, he has succeeded, and won a satisfaction and triumph few men ever know. Publishing is a very mysterious business. It is hard to predict what kind of sale or reception a book will have, and advertising seems to do very little good.
Rest; Thomas Wolfe
wolfe'S REST by Francis McGovern thomas wolfe was stricken with an influenza whiletraveling in the Pacific Northwest. LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL by thomas wolfe.
http://www.literarytraveler.com/summer/south/wolferest.htm

Extractions: Thomas Wolfe was stricken with an influenza while traveling in the Pacific Northwest. Wolfe told his doctors he believed that he became sick while on a July 4 th cruise to Vancouver on the Canadian Pacific steamship, Princess Kathleen . On the ship, he shared a drink of whisky with a shivering man, whom he would later call "a poor shivering wretch." The next day he became very sick and decided to make his way back to Seattle. The case began to get worse. Wolfe suffered from fevers and his headaches were severe. The doctors could not determine what was wrong with him. They decided that in order for Wolfe to receive the best treatment, he should be moved to Johns Hopkins Medical Center in Baltimore. His new doctor, Dr. Walter E. Dandy, saw that it was a very serious case and his preliminary diagnosis was either brain cancer, tuberculosis, or a brain tumor. The decision was made to operate. Once the procedure was begun, the doctors realized that his case was hopeless, because his brain was covered with tubercles, and the best they could do was try to ease his suffering and hope that he did not recover from the operation. Wolfe had had TB when he was a young man. It had healed, covering over the tubercles in his lungs. The doctors believed the tubercles in his lung were aggravated and opened again by the pneumonia, and made their way into his bloodstream, where the disease traveled to his brain.
Biography Of Thomas Wolfe
Also includes bibliography and links.
http://www.ncwriters.org/twolfe.htm

Extractions: North Carolina's most famous and perhaps greatest writer, Thomas Wolfe, was born in Asheville, the eighth child of a Pennsylvania stonecutter and his third wife, a hill country school teacher. Wolfe grew up in his mother's boarding house. An exceptional student, he started public school before he was six, and at age eleven transferred at his teachers' request to a private school. He entered the university at Chapel Hill at fifteen "an awkward, unhappy misfit." By the time he graduated, he was editor of the college newspaper and had seen several of his plays produced by the Carolina Playmakers. Planning to become a dramatist, he went to Harvard, then to New York, where no one would produce his very long plays. To "buy time," he took a job teaching at New York University. During a 1926 trip to Europe, he began writing down his early memories of Asheville. He abandoned playwriting, and after three years of writing, revision and editing, published Look Homeward, Angel: A Story of the Buried Life
Thomas Wolfe's Dixieland
thomas wolfe'S DIXIELAND thomas wolfe's Old Kentucky Home by Francis McGovern. Thehome and adjacent area have now become The thomas wolfe Memorial.
http://www.literarytraveler.com/summer/south/dixieland.htm

Extractions: The Old Kentucky Home, known as "Dixieland" in the novel Look Homeward Angel by Thomas Wolfe, is located at 48 Spruce Street in downtown Asheville. The novel is autobiographical and Wolfe presents Dixieland more as a prison than a home, which has the protagonist, Eugene Gant, by the soul. Wolfe had a love hate relationship with the house, his family and the town. It seems more fitting rather, that he would have torn it down, surely in regret, only to have built it back up again. The home and adjacent area have now become The Thomas Wolfe Memorial. The Memorial is a wide bright structure that was built behind the home. Inside you can purchase tickets for a tour, view art work, and browse books and pamphlets about Wolfe and his work, and connections to Asheville. There is also an excellent slide presentation about his life that will give you some background before the tour.

A Man Abridged
A brief list of the best passages in the works of thomas wolfe.
http://members.aol.com/cathb1977/wolfe.html

Extractions: You really should make an effort to read at least one of Wolfe's books - preferably either Look Homeward, Angel or You Can't Go Home Again - in its entirety. But for the benefit of those who don't have time to read every single word, here is a list of the best passages to be found in Wolfe's published works. The numbers in parentheses indicate the chapters or sections in which passages can be found. In Look Homeward, Angel - the proem and first few pages of Chapter 1; the section about Eugene's first year at the University (28); the death of Ben (35-37); Ben's ghost (40). In Of Time and the River - section (one of many) on America (14); the death of Gant (30-33). The description of Gant's death may be my favorite passage in all of Wolfe's writing. It also stands as one of the few passages in any classic in which I "got" the meaning between the lines without a professor or a literary critic explaining it to me. In From Death to Morning - "Only the Dead Know Brooklyn," "One of the Girls in Our Party."
