Look Homeward, Angel is one of the most important novels of my life ... It's a wonderful story for any young person burning with literary ambition, but it also speaks to the longings of our whole lives; I'm still moved by Wolfe's ability to convey the human appetite for understanding and experience -- Elizabeth Kostova, author of 'The Historian' Language as rich and ambitious and intensely American as any of our novelists has ever accomplished -- Charles Frazier, author of 'Cold Mountain'
