"A stirring drama about the complex friendship and transformative professional relationship between book editor Maxwell Perkins (who discovered F. Scott Fitzgerald and Ernest Hemingway), and Thomas Wolfe. New York Times wrote of Wolfe: "His was one of the most confident of young voices in contemporary American literature, a vibrant, full-toned voice. It is hard to believe it could be so suddenly stilled. The stamp of genius was upon him, though it was an undisciplined and unpredictable genius. There was within him an unspent energy, an untiring force, an unappeasable hunger for life and for expression, which might have carried him to the heights ... and might equally have torn him down." -- Provided by the Publisher.
