Rebooting myself
Tom Wolfe, author of ‘Bonfire of the Vanities’ dead at 88
Bibliography[edit]
Non-fiction[edit]
While his epitaph reads for Bonfires(due to the bad movie) he actually had a respected career writing
He was a founding member of "new journalism" but did not get the same press that Hunter S Thompson did--both are considered the founders of New Journalism in the 60's when reporting on the modern times
while his 60's stuff was great he went on to write "the right stuff" about the early days of NASA
while he later became a character himself, his non fiction book The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test was a must read for nearly 30 years
