After futile searches for "a place to write," Thomas Wolfe is at present living in Brooklyn. Says Eugene, in autobiographical disgust: " 'To write'-to be that most foolish, vain, and impotent of all impostors, a man who sought the whole world over 'looking for a place to write', when, he knew now with every naked, brutal penetration of his life 'the place to write...
