Thomas Wolfe a top author again

Posted Sep 30, 2018
Thanks to an episode from Netflix's crime drama "Ozark," Asheville hometown hero Thomas Wolfe is suddenly a top author again. "Ozark" is driving viewers to search for first editions of "Look Homeward, Angel," an expensive and collectible book from 1929 that boasts an eye-catching dust jacket. First editions of "Look Homeward, Angel" are indeed valuable. (Asheville Citizen-Times)
