The Wall Street Journal had an excellent interview/article on Tom Wolfe yesterday. They posted it on their opinionjournal.com site, so it is available for free. OpinionJournal – Featured Article
I’ve only read two of Wolfe’s books – The Right Stuff and Bonfire of the Vanities. I don’t read many novels, but Bonfire is my all-time favorite. Did Wolfe ever capture NY in the 80’s (Remember "lemon tarts" and "social x-rays"?). Even my father read and liked it.
But, it sounds like Wolfe ain’t too popular in New York social circles. Read the Journal piece, it’s fascinating.
