The Lost Boy by Thomas Wolfe

A Novella

Told in four interconnected parts, this novella follows the bright promise and sudden death of a twelve-year-old boy whose absence reverberates through his family. Beginning with a vivid childhood episode of innocence and injustice, it shifts to the mother’s and sister’s recollections and concludes with an adult brother’s pilgrimage to places of memory, confronting the persistence of grief and the elusiveness of the past.
