For the last eight years of his life, Thomas Wolfe worked periodically on a series of chapters that were part of a huge work-in-progress. The work was based loosely on the early life of New York stage and costume designer Aline Bernstein, with whom Wolfe was engaged in a tempestuous love affair for eleven years. In her introduction, Suzanne Stutman points out that publication of this novel should finally lay to rest the myth that Wolfe could write only about himself. Although some sections of this work were heavily edited and published after Wolfe's death, The Good Child's River, as Wolfe wrote it, was not published until 1991 and is now available in paperback for the first time.

A NEW THOMAS WOLFE DISCOVERY FROM THE AUTHOR'S PAPERS Published more than half a century after Thomas Wolfe's death, The Good Child's River presents previously unpublished material drawn from the author's surviving manuscripts and literary papers. Edited by Wolfe scholar Suzanne Stutman, the volume offers readers a fresh opportunity to engage with the work of one of America's most ambitious literary voices and provides valuable insight into his creative process. Issued as part of the H. Eugene and Lillian Youngs Lehman Series, the book combines literary scholarship with broad reader appeal.

PHYSICAL DESCRIPTION: Octavo. 9.25 inches; 191 pages with bibliography and appendixes. Publisher's cloth-backed boards in the original dust jacket. Illustrated with black-and-white plates.

HISTORICAL SIGNIFICANCE - Thomas Wolfe remains one of the defining figures of twentieth-century American literature. His expansive autobiographical novels and lyrical prose influenced generations of writers, including Ray Bradbury, Jack Kerouac, and Philip Roth. Published in 1994 from previously unpublished manuscripts, The Good Child's River demonstrates the continuing scholarly importance of Wolfe's archive and the ongoing effort to preserve and interpret his literary legacy. Although Thomas Wolfe's reputation rests largely upon major works such as Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River, his surviving manuscripts continue to reveal new dimensions of his literary achievement. The Good Child's River preserves material that remained unpublished during Wolfe's lifetime, allowing readers to examine themes, imagery, and narrative techniques that occupied the author throughout his career. For collectors, the volume occupies an interesting place within the Wolfe canon. It serves both as a standalone literary work and as a window into the development of one of America's most celebrated modern writers. The careful editorial work and university press production further enhance its value as a reference and research source. ABOUT THE AUTHOR - Thomas Wolfe was born in Asheville, North Carolina, and emerged as one of the most significant American novelists of the twentieth century. His novels, including Look Homeward, Angel (1929) and Of Time and the River (1935), are noted for their emotional intensity, autobiographical foundations, and expansive prose style. Though he died at the age of thirty-seven, Wolfe left behind a substantial body of manuscripts that continued to generate posthumous publications and scholarly study for decades.
