LIBRARY
! When Thomas Wolfe died he left
more than a million words in un-
published manuscript. After "The
Web and the Rock" and "You Can't
Go Home Again" were taken from
this manuscript, there still remain
ed many unpublished stories and
character sketches, among them
some Of the finest Wolfe ever
wrote. From these a careful selec-
ton was made, so that "The Hills
Beyond" includes only about one
fourth Of the available material.
Nothing in this volume ever be-
fore appeared in book form. Some
of Thomas Wolfe's best short stor-
les are here, including "The Lost
Boy" "Chickamauga," and 1.-THE
Lion at Morning" Some Of the Sc
lections also have considerable bio
graphical interests, such as mo
Cure for It." "The Return of the
ProdigaI" and Goods Lonely Man.
The title piece of the volume, a
long story of ten chapters, is a
particularly significant example OF
Wolfe's later writing. 1t is not
only his most objective work, but
is also the very last thing he did.
The back of the book contains
"A Note on Thomas Wolfe" which
presents new and little known in
formation about the authors uni
que literary methods. This note
makes public for the first time a
remarkable letter which Wolfe
wrote to his mother when he was
only TWENTY-FIVE years old-a letter
which will probably take rank
among the great documents of lit
erary history, because it so exactly
foreshadowed the work which the
author was later to 90.
