Bücher

Angebote / Angebote:

Author of The Right Stuff and other journalistic writings in a literary vein and the novel Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe has been lauded and vilified by the critics for breaking down the barriers between fact and fiction, journalism and literature, and for his stylistic idiosyncrasies. Doug Shomette here collects from four to eight representative reviews and critical commentary on each of Wolfe's eleven major works. A judicious introduction summarizes these fifty-four pieces as well as other notable critical reactions not reprinted. Also included is a chronology of important events in Wolfe's career, a bibliography of additional readings, and an index.
