This book is written by Thomas Wolfe after the publication of his first two novels, Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River. Let me just say that I have read neither. I have read nothing written by Thomas Wolfe, ever. So why did I read this book about him writing his first two books? I don’t know. Why not? It was short and I thought it would be a quick read, which it was. This book is extremely personal and very well written. Wolfe shares his struggles that come with not only the act of writing, but publication as well. He talks about his hometown shunning him after Look Homeward, Angel, his loneliness in Paris, and the frenzy that took control of his life while writing Of Time and the River. You really get an understanding of Wolfe and what it means to be a writer. I really hope to have a chance to read his books sometime soon. With the background knowledge I gained from this book, I imagine the books will be very interesting reads. Zeige 2 von 2 keine Rezensionen | Rezension hinzufügen

Crónica apasionada sobre la escritura de un libro, despliegue de esa voz torrencial que hizo del estilo de Wolfe algo tan característico, esta Historia de una novela es también un documento maravilloso que nos permite asomarnos a las intimidades de un proceso creativo y, a la larga, nos obliga a establecer conjeturas acerca de las complejas relaciones entre un autor y su editor, que en este caso es nada menos que Maxwell Perkins. El excepcional editor, descubridor de Scott Fitzgerald o Hemingway, es el protagonista secreto de esta historia, un artista a su manera, encargado de modelar la segunda novela de Wolfe a partir de la incontinencia verbal del autor. Rara vez como en este texto es posible ver tan bien difuminados los límites entre la honestidad rotunda y la impostura más radical.
