| Thomas Wolfe's epic autobiographical novel, Look Homeward, Angel, depicted life in a turn-of-the-century American city and made his mother's boarding house a literary landmark. Born in 1900, Wolfe was heavily influenced by life in the Old Kentucky Home. He spent ten years of his childhood in the boarding house, which was run by his mother, Julia. Wolfe's novels and short stories depict the lives of Asheville's citizens, Julia Wolfe's boarders, and the tempestuous Wolfe family themselves. |
