He's no doubt talking about Thomas Wolfe (1900-1938), American author of "Look Homeward, Angel", who had been living in Berlin for quite a while during the Twenties, I think. He mentions him somewhere else (the diaries again, no doubt) where he is talking about some short story (something to do with an underground train??) by that author. I think he might even have met him at some stage or other... Yes, Noack mentions Thomas Wolfe on pp. 76, 86 and 207. (Conrad, alas, is not in that index...) > > > I think Olaf is also right.

Haven't found it yet, and it might even be in "Zwei Mal Halley". I just seem to have remembered that it's about "Lord Jim", so might not be interesting anyway... Greetings from a grey day in Berlin Olaf
