The Web and The Root (Harper Perennial Modern Classics)
“Wolfe wrote as one inspired. No one of his generation had his command of language, his passion, his energy.” (The New Yorker)“Wolfe has written passage after passage that you want to read aloud, to memorize; no novelist since Conrad has more verbal effectiveness.” (Saturday Review)“He was one of the most brilliant of them all. He had an enormous appetite for life, and a deep sensitivity.” (New York Herald Tribune)“Among his and my contemporaries, I ranked Wolfe first.” (William Faulkner)
