About This Item
New York and London: Harper & Brothers, 1941. First edition of Wolfe's acclaimed posthumously published short story collection. Octavo, original dark blue cloth. Near fine in a very good dust jacket, embossed stamps. When Thomas Wolfe died, he left more than a million words in unpublished manuscript form, out of which Edward Aswell extracted The Web and the Rock, You Can't Go Home Again, and The Hills Beyond which contains some of Wolfe's best short stories including: The Lost Boy, Chickamanga, The Lion at Morning, and the title piece which was the last story the author wrote.
Synopsis
The third and last book posthumously culled from the mountains of manuscripts Thomas Wolfe left behind when he died at the age of 37. It includes short stories and ten chapters from a longer piece of fiction, some of the work considered to be his best and most mature work. This work includes a Note of Thomas Wolfe by Edward C. Aswell, Wolfe's last editor who published three of his books after Wolfe's death.
