His widely acclaimed novels, beginning with <i>Look Homeward, Angel<\/i> in 1928, depicted his family members and the neighbors he had grown up with living in his mother\u2019s boardinghouse, The Old Kentucky Home. Many who recognized themselves in his fictional characters were so upset at his portrayal of them that they turned against him. Wolfe described the pain of his rejection in another novel, <i>You Can\u2019t Go Home Again<\/i>. Only after his death in 1938 did his fellow townspeople give him the acclaim that the outside world had offered from the very start. Today, Wolfe\u2019s childhood boardinghouse home in Asheville is a major tourist attraction.<\/p>\n<p><i>Digital Heritage Moments are produced at Western Carolina University in Cullowhee.
