Description: For sale is the 50th Anniversary edition Hardcover of Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe. Look Homeward Angel: A Story of the Buried Life (1929) ,Charles Scribner's Sons 1957. Hardcover with Dust Jacket. Includes an Introduction by Maxwell Perkins, Wolfe's editor at Scribner's. Wolfe wrote voluminously and was greatly attached to each sentence he wrote. After a tremendous struggle, Perkins induced Wolfe to cut 90,000 words from his first novel, Look Homeward, Angel (1929). His next, Of Time and the River (1935), was the result of a two-year battle during which Wolfe kept writing more and more pages in the face of an ultimately victorious effort by Perkins to hold the line on size. At first grateful to Perkins for discovering and mentoring him, Wolfe later came to resent the popular perception that he owed his success to his editor. Wolfe left Scribner's after numerous fights with Perkins. Despite this, Perkins served as Wolfe's literary executor after his early death in 1938 and was considered by Wolfe to be his closest friend.
