Look Homeward, Angel: A Story of the Buried Life is a 1957 theatrical adaptation by playwright Ketti Frings of the 1929 novel by Thomas Wolfe of the same title. It is Wolfe's first novel, and is considered a highly autobiographical American Bildungsroman. The character of Eugene Gant is generally believed to be a depiction of Wolfe himself. The novel covers the span of time from Eugene's birth to the age of 19. The setting is the fictional town and state of Altamont, Catawba, a fictionalization of his home town, Asheville, North Carolina.
