Of Time and the River

It is 1920 and Eugene Gant leaves the American South for Harvard, New York and Europe, determined to make his way as a writer. On the boat home, he meets Esther Jack, the woman who is to dominate his life. Autobiographical, vital and passionate, Wolfe`s second novel blazes with energy and life. Wolfe`s first novel, `Look Homeward, Angel`, is also now available in Penguin Classics. Together, the two novels tell the story of Eugene Gant, Wolfe`s fictional alter-ego, as he grows up in a dysfunctional family in the American South and discovers his true vocation as a writer. This new edition includes an introduction by Elizabeth Kostova, author of `The Historian.
