Tom Wolfe: A Critical Companion (Critical Companions to Popular Contemporary Writers),New
Delivery time: 8-12 business days (International)
Always controversial, Tom Wolfe's writings inarguably have had enduring cultural impact through the decades, starting with his short stories in the 1960s and the publication of his first nonfiction novel, The Electric KoolAid Acid Test(1968). This book offers the fullest treatment of Wolfe's life and literary output available to date, with full analysis of his major works including The Right Stuff (1979), The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987), and his most recent novel A Man in Full(1999). With insightful historical perspectives to Wolfe's literary and cultural contributions, this book situates all the booklength works both in the context of Wolfe's own life and of the literary forms he either shaped or rebelled against. Wolfe's readers will enjoy the fascinating account of his personal and professional life. A full chapter is devoted to exploring Wolfe's place in contemporary American literature, which places the writer alongside other notable writers who made their start in journalism, including Twain and Hemingway.In addition to the discussions of character and plot development for each book, Wolfe's thematic concerns are also fully explored so that readers will be able to understand and appreciate his ideas on society, religion, and gender. Each work is illuminated from an interesting literary perspective, which includes a feminist reading of Radical Chic, a religious reading of A Man in Full, and a reading that places the Electric KoolAid Acid Test in the tradition of the picaresque novel. A select bibliography, including reviews, completes this companion.
