North Carolina

Pour of Tor said, "Here's a possibility for NC - Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe, which is considered by some to be the quintessential North Carolinian novel, and by others to be tedious and/or outrageous."

Thomas Wolfe's classic coming-of-age novel, first published in 1929, is a work of epic grandeur, evoking a time and place with extraordinary lyricism and precision. Set in Altamont, North Carolina, this semi-autobiographical novel tells the story of a restless young man who longs to escape his tumultuous family and his small town existence. Good choice.
