Hooking Up(1st Edition)
by Tom Wolfe
Paperback, 304 Pages, Published 2001 by Picador Paper
ISBN-13: 978-0-312-42023-9, ISBN: 0-312-42023-4

"Tom Wolfe's Hooking Up is an oleo of reportage, fiction, and acrimonious name calling. This last, of course, makes for the best reading. In "My Three Stooges", Wolfe reviles the three big men of American letters--Updike, Mailer and Irving--who cast aspersions on his second novel. Apparently, "the allergens for jealousy were present. Both Updike and Mailer had books out at the same time as A Man in Full, and theirs had sunk without a bub ..."






A Man in Full(1st Edition)
A Novel
by Tom Wolfe
Hardcover, 742 Pages, Published 1998 by Farrar, Straus And Giroux
ISBN-13: 978-0-374-27032-2, ISBN: 0-374-27032-5

"Seit er 1972 seinen Klassiker, das Essay "Why They Aren't Writing the Great American Novel Anymore" veröffentlichte, hat Tom Wolfe seine dichterischen Vorlieben laut und deutlich vorgebracht. Für den Musterknabe des Neuen Journalismus ist Minimalismus eine Pleite, geschweige denn eine Folge von Mutlosigkeit. Die wahre Aufgabe des amerikanischen Schriftstellers ist es, fette Romane über gesellschaftliche Beobachtungen zu produzieren -- v ..."

"Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers is classic Wolfe, a funny, irreverent, and "delicious" (The Wall Street Journal) dissection of class and status by the master of New Journalism"On the night of January 4, 1970, Maestro and Mrs. Leonard Bernstein threw a bash in their thirteen-room park Avenue pad to raise money for the Black Panthers Defense Fund. New York society will probably never play Lady Bountiful in quite the same way a ..."

"They say if you remember the '60s, you weren't there. But, fortunately, Tom Wolfe was there, notebook in hand, politely declining LSD while Ken Kesey and his Merry Pranksters fomented revolution, turning America on to a dangerously playful way of thinking as their Day-Glo conveyance, Further, made the most influential bus ride since Rosa Parks's.

The Bonfire of the Vanities(Reprint)

Mobipocket_Ebook
ISBN-13: 978-0-312-42757-3, ISBN: 0-312-42757-3

"After Tom Wolfe defined the '60s in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers and the cultural U-turn at the turn of the '80s in The Right Stuff, nobody thought he could ever top himself again. In 1987, when The Bonfire of the Vanities arrived, the literati called Wolfe an "aging enfant terrible." He wasn't aging; he was growing up. Bonfire's pyrotechnic satire of 1980s New York wasn't just Wolfe ..."

Paperback, 704 Pages, Published 2001 by Dial Press Trade Paperback
ISBN-13: 978-0-553-38133-7, ISBN: 0-553-38133-4

"Ever since he published his classic 1972 essay "Why They Aren't Writing the Great American Novel Anymore," Tom Wolfe has made his fictional preferences loud and clear. For New Journalism's poster boy, minimalism is a wash, not to mention a failure of nerve. The real mission of the American writer is to produce fat novels of social observation--the sort of thing Balzac would be dishing up if he had made it into the Viagra era. Wolfe's ma ..."

"The maestro storyteller and reporter provocatively argues that what we think we know about speech and human evolution is wrong.
