Asheville Celebrates Thomas Wolfe's Birthday bv Mike Grooms Staff Writer Friday, Oct. 3rd, will mark the eightieth anniversary of Thomas Wolfe's birth. A native of Asheville. he was oerharjs the onlv writer of world importance to emerge from the Western North Carolina mountains. His four no els, Look Homeward, Angel, Of Time and the River, The Web and the Rock, and You Can't Go Home Again, are still in print today nearly fiftv years after they were first published. His writing was intensely autobiographical. He was attempting to tell the story of America as it impinged upon the perception of one individual. Above all he had the ability to turn episodes of personal pain into high art. Wolfe was as unsparingly scathing of himself as he was of his neighbors. The 1929 publication of his first novel, Look Homeward Angel, marked the end of his years of YOUR LAST 2 YEARS OF COLLEGE COULD BE YOURFIRST 2 YEARS OF MANAGEMENT The Army ROTC 2-year program trains vou to become an officer for a modem organization— today s Army- which also includes the Army Reserve and Army National Guard.

Wctorn Carolina University Cullowhee, North Carolina 28723 704-227-7438 • v--—s ARMY ROTC (j£|| literary apprenticeship but it also marked the beginning of his seven year exile from home. The sleepy, little mountain town of Ahseville had the veil ripped off of some of its more unsavory aspects and its reaction was adamant and angry. In her book Thomas Wolfe and his Family Wolfe's sister Mabel recalls the uproar that the book caused in Asheville. Its publication dominated Asheville news even in that depression year. The book was an immediate sell-out in Asheville as it was across the entire slate. Rental libraries in Asheville had it circulating for fifty cents a day, quite a sum for a time when eggs were a dime a dozen and bread was pennies a loaf. Part of the outrage was generated over the fact that Wolfe came perilously close to naming names and pointing out the real places where skeletons were buried, for example: the town of Old Fort was Old Stockade; Chapel Hill was Pulpit Hill, Asheville's Woodfin Street, Spruce Street, Eagle Street, Patton Avenue, and Mcrrimon Avenue, became Woodson, Spring Street, Eagle Crescent, Hatton Avenue, and Merrion Avenue. He came close to giving people their real names too. Louis Graves became George Graves, Daniel Hodges was Martin Hodges, Charlie Mascari was Pete Mascari, etc. Threats of tar and feathering, lynching, and murder kept Wolfe away from his hometown until 1937. By this time all had been forgiven and he was hailed as a returning hero and held responsible for putting Asheville on the map. But he found on his return that he had changed, that Asheville had changed, and that, truly, 'you can't go home again.' Wolfe died in 1938 after contracting pneumonia, on a trip out West. The pneumonia opened up old tubercular scars in his lungs. The bacili traveled to his brain and infested it with small tumors. Romantics will tell you that Wolfe never died. A romantic would say that the best of what made the man lives on in his books. What about those books? Wolfe was a huge man, 6 foot 7, and his books are equally huge. Those four novels are the equivalent of anywhere from seven to nine novels of average length. There has been a controversy over Wolfe's literary reputation almost from the very start of his career. His work has been attacked as formless and artless. It has been defended as realistic, poetic, and as being organic in form. The truth lies somewhere between the extremes, as usual. For all its faults, the work of Thomas Wolfe possesses the mark of great art that could be called the shock of recognition. He seems to express things that we have all seen and felt but with a facility that few of us have. This is why the work of Thomas Wolfe has survived this long. This is why great art survives at all.
