We should read Thomas Wolfe every now and then...
"Proud Death, proud Death, whom I have seen by darkness, at so many times, and always when you came to nameless men, what have you ever touched that you have not touched with love and pity, Death?
Proud Death, wherever we have seen your face, you came with mercy, love, and pity, Death, and brought to all of us your compassionate sentences of pardon and release. For have you not retrieved from exile the desperate lives of men who never found their home?
Have you not opened your dark door for us who never yet found doors to enter and given us a room who, roomless, doorless, unassuaged, were driven on forever through the streets of life?
Have you not offered us your stern provender, Death, with which to stay the hunger that grew to madness from the food it fed upon, and given all of us the goal for which we sought but never found, the certitude, the peace, for which our overladen hearts contended, and made for us, in your dark house, an end of all the tortured wandering and unrest that lashed us on forever?
Proud Death, proud Death, not for the glory that you added to the glory of the king, proud Death, nor for the honor that you imposed upon the dignities of famous men, proud Death, nor for the final magic that you have given to the lips of genius, Death, but because you come so gloriously to us who never yet knew glory, so proudly and sublimely to us whose lives were nameless and obscure, because you give to all of us—the nameless, faceless, voiceless atoms of the earth—the awful chrism of your grandeur, Death, because I have seen and known you so well, and have lived alone so long with Loneliness, your brother, I do not fear you any longer, friend, and have made this praise for you."
(By: Thomas Wolfe, "DEATH THE PROUD BROTHER")

Thomas Wolfe -- Look Homeward, Angel
It's not often that I have to take a break from a book, but I needed three days off from page after page of purple prose about people neither pleasant nor entertaining nor interesting.
Wolfe's 1929 Bildungsroman, a coming of age in North Carolina novel, was once thought to put Wolfe on a level with Hemingway or Faulkner.
Not many critics would hold him in such esteem today; I believe this revaluation is well deserved. Wolfe never used one word when he could cram in ten, preferably with much "poetic" diction and overuse of alliteration. Not every writer has to write the stripped down prose of Hemingway, not every darling has to be murdered, but an editorial slaughter would have been welcome here.* Wolfe also lacks the insight and imagination exercised by Faulkner with regard to race in the South.
Getting to the last of the 500 plus pages of wordy self indulgence this afternoon felt like the end of an ordeal.
Am I being unfair? Wolfe is sometimes described as an author best appreciated by young men. I admit that I might well have been impressed had I read him as an adolescent; I'm glad I did not, as the book might have done irreparable damage to my prose style.

OK, I should get offline and continue reading. Unfortunately, I am not enjoying my current book (Thomas Wolfe -- Look Homeward, Angel) that much, but I have to get through it. I also have a ton of other things to read and write!

No, it's not another tortured artist biopic. It's a love letter to editing — and a quiet demolition of the lone genius myth. In Genius (2016), writing isn’t sexy. It’s surgery. It’s sweat. And it’s shared.

Good Books Now In The Public Domain
In addition to being the first day of the New Year, January 1 is also known as Public Domain Day, when titles previously under copyright enter the public domain in many countries, including the U.S.
This year’s titles include a host of good books by some authors you might have heard of including William Faulkner, Earnest Hemingway, John Steinbeck, Dashiell Hammett, Thomas Wolfe, Sinclair Lewis, Edith Wharton and Mahatma Gandhi among others.
Standard EBOOKS is celebrating by providing links to twenty of the titles available to download in different formats that should work with most ebook readers.
These book titles, were first published in 1929. I won’t get into the length of copyrights and all the issues surrounding that, but instead say this is an interesting collection of works, some early or first works by some of the authors listed above.
Keep in mind that on Public Domain Day a number of titles in other media also entered the public domain. Duke University publishes a more extensive, but not complete list that includes titles of plays, movies, characters, music compositions, art, and sound recordings. The date for sound recordings is 1924 and includes Rhapsody In Blue by George Gershwin.
You can find more of my writings on a variety of topics on Medium at this link, including in the publications Ellemeno and Rome. I can also be found on social media under my name as above.

La storia del rapporto, di lavoro ed amicizia, tra l'editor #MaxPerkins, già scopritore di #FrancisScottFitzgerald ed #ErnestHemingway, ed un nuovo autore: #ThomasWolfe.
Buon cast per un buon biopic.
