The Lost Boy by Wolfe

Lost Boy: A Novella by Thomas Wolfe

My rating: 5 of 5 stars


Brilliant.
The style -- following paths of association of words and memories rather than a plot, and the rhythm of the thoughts -- put me inside the minds of the four narrators. Their memories were becoming my memories as if I were there with them. and at the end there were tears in my eyes.
I read Look Homeward Angel in 1964, 56 years ago. Now I have to read it again. This time I'll probably read the reconstructed original version O Lost. And then I'll have to read the rest of his works.
