<p/><br></br><p><b> Book Synopsis </b></p></br></br><p>Shortly before his death at a tragically young age, author Thomas Wolfe presented his editor with an epic masterwork that was subsequently published as three separate novels: <em>You Can't Go Home Again</em>, <em>The Hills Beyond</em>, and <em>The Web and the Rock</em>.</p><p><em>The Web and the Root</em> features the three initial sections of the <em>The Web and the Rock</em>, widely considered to be the book's strongest material. A prequel to <em>You Can't Go Home Again</em>, it is the story of George Webber's momentous journey from Libya Falls, North Carolina, to the Golden City of the North--offering vivid, sometimes cutting depictions of rural pleasures and small-town clannishness while exploring boundless urban possibility and the complex, violent undercurrents of the metropolis. </p><p/><br></br><p><b> Review Quotes </b></p></br></br><br>"Wolfe wrote as one inspired. No one of his generation had his command of language, his passion, his energy."--<em>The New Yorker</em><br><br>"Among his and my contemporaries, I ranked Wolfe first."--William Faulkner<br><br>"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<br><br>"Wolfe has written passage after passage that you want to read aloud, to memorize; no novelist since Conrad has more verbal effectiveness."--Saturday Review<br>
