Our First Neat L'l Bookshop on Cayuga Street

When Thomas Wolfe (1900 - 1938) died, he left behind an eight-foot-high stack of unpublished manuscripts.  "If ever there was a writer who didn't need a biographer, that writer is Thomas Wolfe," said his editor, Maxwell Perkins.  Look Homeward, Angel, published in 1929, could be considered autobiography or pure fiction.  Wolfe himself wrote in his note to the reader, "If the writer has used the clay of life to make his book, he has only used what all men must, what none can keep from using."

"The universe constantly and obediently answers to our conceptions; whether we travel fast or slow, the track is laid for us.  Let us spend our lives in conceiving then.  The poet or the artist never yet had so fair and noble a design but some of his posterity at least could accomplish it.
Let us spend one day as deliberately as Nature, and not be thrown off the track by every nutshell and mosquito's wing that falls on the rails."

~ Henry D. Thoreau, American author, naturalist, philosopher (1817 - 1862) Walden.
