Book summaryThis version of Thomas Wolfe's classic novel, LOOK HOMEWARD, ANGEL, restores the 60,000 words that were cut by his original editor, Maxwell Perkins, when the book was originally published in 1929. The restorations provide information about Eugene Gant's childhood and family that Matthew J. and Arlyn Bruccoli, the editors, consider crucial. Media reviews"Bruccoli is at pains to refute the canard that Wolfe was a self-intoxicated hunk who could not have written his books without the help of Scribner's...and without Maxwell Perkins in particular. He...declares that O LOST is a fresher and stronger work than its groomed version...." |
