Description from Wikipedia:
Look Homeward, Angel: A Story of the Buried Life is a 1929 novel by
Thomas Wolfe. It is Wolfe's first novel, and is considered a highly
autobiographical American Bildungsroman. The character of Eugene Gant is
generally believed to be a depiction of Wolfe himself. The novel covers
the span of time from Eugene's birth to the age of 19. The setting is
the fictional town and state of Altamont, Catawba, a fictionalization of
his home town, Asheville, North Carolina.
