Wolfe was born on March 2, 1930, in Richmond, Virginia, the son of Helen Perkins Hughes Wolfe, a garden designer, and Thomas Kennerly Wolfe Sr. (1893–1972), an agronomist and editor of The Southern Planter.

Library Journal called the book the most successful of Wolfe's three major biographies to that date [3] (it had been preceded by books by Wolfe's agent Elizabeth Nowell [4] (1960) and by Andrew Turnbull (1967), [5] both titled Thomas Wolfe: A Biography; other biographies have been published since).
After a tremendous struggle, Perkins induced Wolfe to cut 90,000 words from his first novel, Look Homeward, Angel (1929). His next, Of Time and the River (1935), was the result of a two-year battle during which Wolfe kept writing more and more pages in the face of an ultimately victorious effort by Perkins to hold the line on size.
