Description
Eugene Gant's life is a story of upheaval and self-discovery, set against the backdrop of small-town America in the early twentieth century. Born to a hard-drinking father and an entrepreneurial mother, Eugene grows up feeling like a lonely outsider, yet he is also a passionate chronicler of American life.
As he navigates the challenges of family tragedy and the need to forge his own path, Eugene must confront the reality of leaving his home behind. This is a dazzlingly rich and poignant first novel from a brilliant and mercurial voice, one who would go on to influence a generation of writers.
This new edition includes an introduction by Elizabeth Kostova, author of The Historian. Eugene Gant's story continues in Wolfe's second novel, Of Time and the River, also available in Penguin Classics.
