"Strange the impression left after reading this little book on how he came to write Of Time and the River is virtually that of "briefing" his own book. It is more than an expanded essay on manner and method and theory -- it epitomizes the conception and the birth pangs of the book itself -- and it reflects the content of the writer's "struggle in his youth." the Story of a Novel has been accepted as a most important contribution to the writings of Thomas Wolfe, a book not only for readers of Wolfe, but for all concerned with processes of literary creation." - Kirkus.
