Author's first book and an American literary landmark. Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938) is the most overtly autobiographical novelists of the major authors from the twentieth century. His reminiscences here were so frank and realistic that the book was originally banned in his own hometown's public library. First printing with publisher's seal present on the copyright page; first issue jacket with author’s portrait (from a photo by Doris Ulmann) on the rear panel and printed. Johnston A2.1.a; Johnson A.I.A1.
