Look Homeward, Angel by Thomas Wolfe is a semi-autobiographical coming-of-age novel that follows Eugene Gant, a sensitive and intelligent young man growing up in the fictional town of Altamont, North Carolina (based on Wolfe's hometown of Asheville).

The novel explores Eugene's tumultuous family life, his longing for meaning and beauty, and his desire to escape the limitations of small-town life. Through richly poetic language and emotional depth, Wolfe charts Eugene's journey from childhood to early adulthood, capturing his struggles with identity, love, loss, and artistic ambition.

At its heart, the novel is about the search for self and a deep yearning for home and belonging in a rapidly changing world.
