Overview
When Thomas Wolfe died in 1938, he left behind reams of unpublished manuscripts. With careful handling by his editor, Max Perkins, that material became two of his best-known novels, The Web and the Rock and You Can't Go Home Again. What remained eventually formed a superb selection of Wolfe's finest short stories into The Hills Beyond.Wolfe stands among our nation's greatest writers, a figure whose stylish prose was admired by William Faulkner and honored by Jack Kerouac. The collection includes: "The Lost Boy," "Chickamauga," "The Lion at Morning," "No Cure for It," "The Return of the Prodigal Son," "God's Lonely Man," and "The Hills Beyond."
Synopsis
This wonderful and compelling collection of stories and character sketches contains some of the finest Wolfe ever wrote.
New York Times Book Review
The Hills Beyond would, I think, have surpassed in creative power these other four [novels] on which Wolfe's reputation must rest How great a pity that he did not live to finish it!
