Wordy but lyrical

Thank you for the review "Thomas Wolfe's Lost Novel," Sept. 30, about the new book "The Good Child's River." Wolfe has been one of my idols for years and has seemed to be forgotten. It is good to see his value and stature recognized. "Too wordy," they said - but what lyrical writing.Virginia Alston, Potomac, Md. Letters are welcome. Only a selection can be published, subject to condensation, and none acknowledged. Please address them to "Readers Write," One Norway St., Boston, MA 02115.
