The Good Child's River

Drawing inspiration from his passionate relationship with Aline Bernstein, Thomas Wolfe's unfinished work delves into themes of love and artistic ambition. Over eight years, he crafted chapters that reflect on Bernstein's early life as a stage and costume designer. This publication aims to dispel the notion that Wolfe's writing is solely autobiographical, showcasing his ability to explore broader narratives. Originally edited and released posthumously, this novel finally appears in paperback, offering readers a glimpse into Wolfe's creative evolution.
