Of Time and the River: A Sweeping American Bildungsroman of Beauty, Loss, and Creative Awakening

Time rushes forward, like the river—and we are swept along in search of who we are.

In Of Time and the River, Thomas Wolfe crafts an ambitious, lyrical novel chronicling Eugene Gant's emotional and intellectual journey from the hills of North Carolina to the intellectual circles of Harvard and the chaos of New York City. Overflowing with passion, longing, and richly poetic language, this novel captures the restless spirit of a young man chasing meaning, purpose, and permanence in an ever-changing world.

A continuation of Wolfe's autobiographical cycle begun in Look Homeward, Angel, this volume stands on its own as a grand meditation on time, memory, and American life in the early 20th century.

This restored edition includes annotations, literary analysis, and biographical notes for modern readers, students, and literary enthusiasts alike.

"Wolfe was a writer of great soul—expansive, fearless, and wild with language." — William Faulkner "A fever dream of genius… Wolfe's emotional range and lyricism remain unmatched." — The New York Times Book Review
