Thomas Wolfe was born in Asheville in 1900 and died in Baltimore at the age of thirty-eight, a victim of tuberculosis. Considered one of the most important North American narrators of the first half of the twentieth century, and admired by his contemporaries: from William Faulkner - who said of him who was the best writer of his generation - to Sinclair Lewis - who even quoted him in his Speech of reception of the Nobel Prize-, his novel The angel that looks at us (1929) obtained great resonance in his country and in good part of Europe. It was followed by other works of equal magnitude, such as Del tiempo y el río (1935) or the posthumous The Web and the Rock (1939) and You Can not Go Home Again (1940). Wolfe is especially remembered for his masterpieces in short format, which Periférica began to rescue in 2011 with the publication of The Lost Child, which they have followed A door I never met (2012), which has obvious connections with Sister Death (2014 ), And Speculation (2013).
