Vintage Tom Wolfe, The Bonfire of the Vanities, the #1 bestseller that will forever define late-twentieth-century New York style. "No one has portrayed New York Society this accurately and devastatingly since Edith Wharton" (The National Review) “A page-turner . . . Brilliant high comedy.” (The New Republic) Sherman McCoy, the central figure of Tom Wolfe's first novel, is a young investment banker with a fourteen-room apartment in Manhattan. When he is involved in a freak accident in the Bronx, prosecutors, politicians, the press, the police, the clergy, and assorted hustlers high and low close in on him, licking their chops and giving us a gargantuan helping of the human comedy, of New York in the 1980s, a city boiling over with racial and ethnic hostilities and burning with the itch to Grab It Now. Wolfe's novel is a big, panoramic story of the metropolis that reinforces the author's reputation as the foremost chronicler of the way we live in America.

Endless minutiae which goes nowhere. In Steinbeck, every bit of minutiae, every tiny detail builds a subtext, supports the inner life of the character. In the book, the details actually distract from whatever is supposed to be going on. Wolf wastes pages about his difficulties taking his dachshund for a walk. There is no imagination in the language. And sex everywhere. Believe me when I write that I am no prude, but sex, like everything else in literature, should be presented through the author's unique vision; so boilerplate references to tight women's jeans are presented as if we hadn't all heard that talk countless times. Then there is the completely unbelievable bit about him being trapped in his bedroom one morning by such a fierce erection that would be impossible to hide from the help. Nonsense. All men have faced this problem at one time or another, but there's always some way to walk sideways, or carry something, etc. If my review seems needlessly and gratuitously sexual it is because the book is so. Finally, I consider use of the "F" word the author's admission that he lacked the imagination to come up with something better. David Mamet, in his play Glengary Glenross is the only successful use of the "F" word I have ever seen. He uses it so much in that play (It's in nearly every sentence at least once) that he reveals the word's true vacuousness, it's real utter emptiness of meaning.
