The letters between Wolfe and his indefatigable editor Maxwell Perkins at Scribner's give a thorough account of their relationship as it developed during the writing of Wolfe's novels. Wolfe wrote to Perkins not only about his writing but about his life, and the letters also provide an illuminating glimpse into the psyche of an ambitious, brilliant, and tormented icon of American letters.
