The second novel by the great American novelist, now the subject of a major new film starring Jude Law

It is 1920 and Eugene Gant leaves the South for Harvard, New York and Europe, as part of his preparation for teaching and writing. On the boat home he meets Esther Jack, the woman who is to dominate his life. Autobiographical, vital and passionate, Wolfe's second novel blazes with energy and life.

Praise for Of Time and the River

In 1949, when I was sixteen, I stumbled on Thomas Wolfe, who died at thirty-eight in 1938, and who made numerous adolescents aside from me devotees of literature for life

Philip Roth

He had that flair for the extravagant and fantastic which has been an American characteristic from Irving and Poe to Dashiell Hammett

F. Scott Fitzgerald

Wolfe wrote as one inspired. No one in his generation had his command of language, his passion, his energy

New Yorker

The product of an immense exuberance, organic in its form, kinetic, and drenched with the love of life ... I rejoice over Mr. Wolfe
