Of Time and the River. First edition, first printing, of the author's second novel, the last published in his lifetime, following Look Homeward, Angel (1929), another fictionalized autobiography."Wolfe was gifted with the faculty of almost total recall, and his fiction is characterized by an intense consciousness of scene and place, together with what is often an extraordinary lyric power. In Look Homeward, Angel and Of Time and the River, Wolfe was able to imbue his life story and the figures of his parents with a lofty romantic quality that has epic and mythopoeic overtones" (Ency. Brit.)
