Of Time and the River

Can one young man capture the world before it slips away like a river?

Of Time and the River (1935), by Thomas Wolfe, is a vast, lyrical novel that continues the story begun in Look Homeward, Angel.

The narrative follows Eugene Gant, Wolfe's semi-autobiographical character, as he leaves his hometown behind to pursue education, ambition, and the broader experiences of life. Driven by restless energy, he confronts the turbulence of youth, the ache of longing, and the timeless struggle to find meaning in the flow of time.

Written in Wolfe's soaring, poetic style, the novel captures both the intimate and the universal: the inner storms of a young man and the great sweep of the American experience. It is a meditation on love, loss, ambition, and the inexorable passage of time.

Praised for its passion and vision, Of Time and the River cements Wolfe's reputation as one of America's most lyrical and ambitious writers.
