The Story of a Novel

"Here is the soul of an artist laid bare, with all his hopes, fears, doubts, and aspirations. But it is not only about Mr. Wolfe's own books - it is about all writing and about American writing especially - a book that every one directly interested in the art of fiction must read, and that every one of the many thousands who enjoyed Mr. Wolfe's novels will find permeated with the same 'insatiable and enormous eagerness in life and living' that placed the stamp of genius on his novels."
