About the Book

A collection of impeccably observed stories, sketches, and essays in full, exuberant, classic Wolfe mode. Originally published in 1976, these stories, essays, and illustrations capture the full spectrum of the '70s ("the Me Decade," in Wolfe's memorable words), from the hilarious to the hard-hitting. Reissued for today's reader, the third installment in Wolfe's trilogy of essay-length works after The Pump House Gang and The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, Mauve Gloves & Madmen, Clutter & Vine is wide-ranging, irreverent, colorful, and gimlet-eyed.

About the Author :
Tom Wolfe (1930-2018) was one of the founders of the New Journalism movement and the author of more than a dozen books, including such contemporary classics as The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, and Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers, as well as the novels The Bonfire of the Vanities, A Man in Full, and I Am Charlotte Simmons. He is credited with coining the term "the Me Decade." Among his many honors, he was awarded the National Book Award, the John Dos Passos Prize, the Washington Irving Medal for Literary Excellence, the National Humanities Medal, and the National Book Foundation Medal for Distinguished Contribution to American Letters. He lived in New York City.

Review :
"No one is as good as Wolfe on the contradictions between cushy class and angry consciousness . . . There essays . . . offer a lively picture of the surface of our society' one wishes life were this interesting." --Jack Beatty, The Nation "This book serves as a reminder of how often Wolfe's refusal to be respectful toward any subject has produced both illumination and laughter." --Time "Mr. Wolfe tackles all sorts of subjects ranging from life on an aircraft carrier (brilliantly described) to the goings-on at a convention of National Enquirer freelance writers . . . The master of trivia also offers an underlying theme in his essays and stories: the enormous gap (as he perceives it) between the intellectuals' negative view of America and the positive reality." --Roger Ricklefs, The Wall Street Journal "It's all right here! Again! The wicked maestro has done it again!" --Tom Nolan, The Los Angeles Times Book Review
