Why Thomas Wolfe Is a "Crate" American Novelist
The Thomas Wolfe review, Vol.30(1/2)
01 Jan 2006
Abstract
More than once, Faulkner put Wolfe at the top of the list of contemporary authors, but he spent just as much time backtracking from those lists and saying things like he really hadn't read much Wolfe, he wished he had never made a list, Wolfe's work was like an "elephant trying to do the hootchie-cootchie" (qtd. in Donald 354), and Wolfe bored him (Karl). In a well-known photograph (reprinted here), he has his Of Time and the River material stuffed in a crate, and then a few years later he stuffed his final manuscript in some crates and went off and died without finishing it.
