Wolfe dropped out during his junior year, and was drafted to fight in the Korean War. While attending Texas A&M University, he published his first speculative fiction in The Commentator, a student literary journal.

Wolfe is most famous for The Book of the New Sun (1980ff), the first part of his Solar Cycle. He is a prolific short story writer and novelist and has won many science fiction and fantasy literary awards (below). He is noted for his dense, allusive prose as well as the strong influence of his Catholic faith, to which he converted after marrying into the religion.
