Topic: The River of Time


  
  Of Time and the River Criticism and Essays
Although Of Time and the River was published to mixed reviews, it received the attention of major literary critics, and it was also the only one of Wolfe's books to reach the best-seller lists in the United States.
A dominant aspect of Eugene's obsession with time is his fear of loss, which is evoked through both incident and imagery: Eugene's profound sorrow at the death of his father; symbols such as smoke and dreams, which represent the transiency of human life; and recurrent metaphors of death and resurrection.
Today, Of Time and the River continues to be overshadowed by Look Homeward, Angel—a fact that some critics attribute to the latter's more traditional structure—but fans of Of Time and the River predict that the novel only serves to benefit from the recent resurgence of interest in Wolfe's writings as a whole.
