A British View
Of Thomas Wolfe

An article about Thomas Wolfe,
entitled 1.-THE Colossus of Ashe-
VILE" covers most of page in
the London Times Literary Sup
plement. Here are some passages
from it:
"The novels of Thomas Wolfe
present a nice problem, and one
which strikes at the very heart
of literary judgment and appre-
citation. The reader, with one part
of him, responds to the mans
genuineness and nakedness of re-
spouse, and with another part OF
him he feels most strongly that
this sort of thing will not do.
''Let us consider Look Home
ward, Angel from a purely liter
airy point of view. Ones first
thought is to wonder why it was
not sent back by the publishers
reader with an "A for effort and
the recommendation that the au-
thor learn how to write The thing
is SO grossly rhetorical, so pos
turing, so overdone, so full of
literary echoes as to give the
reader with any sense of literary
taste at all hot and cold flushes.
cit sometimes seems that the
word great appears in every
other sentence. The frame of ref
erence is wide, and there is
enormous gusto, dozens of char
acters, and cataloguings of sights,
sounds, especially smells, but
The Petal paper. [volume] (Petal, Miss.) 1953-19??, 1959-12-24

there is very little depth, or much
sense of form-nothing to pull
the unwieldly mass into shape;
only an overweening egotism.
There are some wonderfully
enjoyable things in Wolfe. Chief
among them are the characterize
ton and the humour. He has the
gift of mimicry and mastery
ability to transfer the flavor of
a person to the printed page.
What Wolfe tried to do, to the
best of his ability, was to etch
the anguish and ecstasy of
young mans growingup on the
printed page. Huge-framed, but
thin-skinned, he lived an intensi-
field physical and emotional life.
In speaking Of himself he hoped
to speak of all the young men in
all the little towns in America
who hear the thunder of great
names and feel themselves out
side the pale.
''He put great deal down -
not everything, but as much as
he dared-and being young he
dressed it up at first in make
shift literary clothes. After his
first book had appeared he real
lied that all he wanted to do was
to go on writing about himself.
1.-THE result, in his other books,
is superb series of scenes inter
larded with pages and pages of
wild and woody rhetoric.
sWolfe was a whale out of the
water, an elephant in the sea. Too
serious for popular romance, too
lacking in sensibility to be true
artist, he floundered from novel
to novel, gasping out his gargan-

THURSDAY. DECEMBER "a, 1859


The voters have already shown
they do not want or need De-
Sapio.
If the Johnsons and the De-
Sapios and the Rayburns want
the national party to win in 1860
they'll have to come to terms
with the party's liberal wing. If
they prefer split government,
with the Republicans in T h e
White House and nominal "Dem-
ocrats" in control of Congress,
then the course they are follow
ing virtually guarantees Richard
M. Nixon as the next President.

POTOMAC =

"Old Turks, as Mrs. r and COM
pany are called, means that the
Democratic. Party is supposed to
stand for something except cushy
jobs and fat contracts.
Truman takes the attitude that
it is splitting the party for the
liberals to insist on reforming
the machine as 1860 approaches.
But, l suspect, he is repeating the
mistake that Hartman made: De-
Sapio needs Eleanor, but l don't
think Eleanor needs Carmine.

tuan life.
"Not even Maxwell Perkins,
great though his services were,
could help him, because Wolfe
did not understand his own faults.
This is abundantly clear from the
Letters, where he rails violently
against perfectly reasonable crit
icism. SCI
"Wolfe was not an artist but
suffering soul with gift OF the
CAB. No one who has any respect
for literature can fling such
chunks of words at the page as
he did, leaving them to be pune
tuated by his editors or trundled
out and inserted in the next
novel
"There are magnificent things
in Wolfe's books, particularly the
extensions of the descriptive parts
of his later novels. But scenes are
not literature. We are asked to
consider Wolfe as novelist, and
an important one at that The an
swer is that we cannot. AS a jour
nalist, yes, and brilliant one,
