Title: Sincerely the best book I've ever read.
Review: Til this novel, I could never pinpoint the "best book I've ever read." This is it. But it is a book that must be read word by word, no skimming. And it is not an easy book to read. Wolfe writes prose; a dozen words to describe what one author would take two. But if you are willing to make the effort it is a beautiful story (autobiographical) of a man from a small town who becomes an author and writes of this town. He returns to find all is not what it was and some didn't appreciate his writing about them. Hence you can't go home again.
