My Alfred Chamberlain? Mr. Chamberlain:
Tom Wolfe said you can't go home again. But I doubt if he meant that literally, more likely a metaphor. But he didn't come from Chicago. More Carolina, Georgia. Something like that. Wolfe wasn't a racist, though. I don't think he was. An anti-Semite I think, but not a racist

My Alfred Chamberlain?
00:00:14.641 --> 00:00:16.836
Tom Wolfe said
you can't go home again.
00:00:16.944 --> 00:00:20.641
But I doubt if he meant that literally.
It was more likely a metaphor.
00:00:20.748 --> 00:00:25.549
But he didn't come from Chicago.
North Carolina, Georgia, something like that.
00:00:25.652 --> 00:00:28.001
Wolfe wasn't a racist, though.
00:00:28.155 --> 00:00:31.716

An anti-Semite, I think, but not a racist.
00:00:31.859 --> 00:00:35.026

00:00:37.364 --> 00:00:40.822

call her a handkerchief head.
00:00:40.934 --> 00:00:43.425
Boo, here's the prodigal son.
00:00:50.477 --> 00:00:53.031
Well, what a surprise, Alfred.
00:00:53.414 --> 00:00:55.905
I mean, I wish you would have
told us you were coming.
00:00:56.998 --> 00:00:59.645
- We would have invited some young people over.
- Hello.
00:00:59.787 --> 00:01:01.687
Hello.
