A dissection of greed-obsessed America a decade after The Bonfire
of the Vanities and on the cusp of the millennium, from the master
chronicler of American culture Tom Wolfe Charlie Croker, once a
fabled college football star, is now a late-middle-aged Atlanta
real estate entrepreneur-turned conglomerate king. His expansionist
ambitions and outsize ego have at last hit up against reality.
Charlie has a 28,000 acre quail shooting plantation, a young and
demanding second wife and a half-empty downtown tower with a
staggering load of debt. Wolfe shows us contemporary America with
all the verve, wit, and insight that have made him our most admired
novelist. 'Enthralling enough even to satisfy The Bonfire of the
Vanities devotees...humane and redemptive' - Sunday Times
