George Webber has written a successful novel about his family and hometown. When he returns to that town he is shaken by the force of the outrage and hatred that greets him. Family and friends feel naked and exposed by the truths they have seen in his book, and their fury drives him from his home. He begins a search for his own identity that takes him to New York and a hectic social whirl; to Paris with an uninhibited group of expatriates; to Berlin, lying cold and sinister under Hitler's shadow. At last Webber returns to America and rediscovers it with love, sorrow, and hope.
Review:
"Though there are extraneous chapters--though YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN contains some of Wolfe's worst writing as well as much of his best--there is a clear, though winding path through the great forest of words and incidents and memories. There is a line, and a mature line. George Webber does grow up, not merely by fiat. There are such brilliant single incidents as that of Mr. Katamoto and that of the fantastic, believable meeting with Lloyd McHarg. But, more than that, though many things on the way were vanity, George Webber's pilgrimage was not vanity, and we do not feel that it was. The book ends neither in doubt nor in illusion."
Stephen Vincent Benet, Saturday Review, 9/21/40
Review:"The novel gives me, at least, every reason to believe that had Thomas Wolfe lived he would have become the greatest of all American novelists. There are things in his other books almost as fine as anything in this one, but YOU CAN'T GO HOME AGAIN will stand apart from everything else that he wrote, because this is the book of a man who had come to terms with himself, who was on the way to mastery of his art, who had something profoundly important to say. His death was the greatest loss to American letters in our time."
J. D. Adams, New York Times Book Review, 09/22/1940
