Thomas Wolfe was born on October 3, 1900, in Asheville, North Carolina, to a stonecutter father and a mother who managed a boardinghouse. This unique upbringing in a close-knit community influenced much of his literary work. After completing his early education at a private preparatory school, Wolfe enrolled at the University of North Carolina in 1916. Here, he began to cultivate his passion for writing, engaging not only in literary pursuits but also participating in the theatrical scene by penning and performing one-act plays.
