Born in Asheville, North Carolina, Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938) was one of the most influential southern writers. In Look Abroad, Angel, Jedidiah Evans uncovers the ""global Wolfe,"" reconfiguring Wolfe's supposedly intractable homesickness for the American South as a form of longing that is instead indeterminate and expansive.
