I know right. I loved Bonfire Of The Vanities and A Man In Full. A Man In Full had a Great Expectations Vibe to it because the main protagonist Charlie Croker found out the hard way that it was better to be Rich with moral sand values tan with cash. His need to keep up appearances was at times heartbreaking. Having a Building that had floors that were empty, not being able to pay certain Bills, having a Caterer come by to have him pay a Bill he owed from a Year Ago, and attending Society Events although he was teetering on Bankruptcy to keep up appearances. Even hosting a weekend rendez vous for guests whom he hopes will invest and none of them do. I also love looking at Offices of Writers. In the early Days of Chick Lit, they always had a Desk/Table a Typewriter whether it was Olivetti or Smith Corona and the "trusty" Cigarette as a form of independence.

Some trivia about the book - Wolfe dedicated it to Kailey Wong, a police officer in Oakland Calif, with whom he had become friendly. Some years later Officer Wong did prison time for burglaries committed on the job. I wonder if that dedication was later revised. . .

This is a journalist with a PhD in American Studies, this is not the same person as Thomas Wolfe, an American poetic author who wrote autobiographical-like novels and died at age 37 in 1938.

Nope. People think standing out makes you pretentious, but this dude had just survived a heart attack. Contrary to popular opinion, the most pretentious thing you can do is be quiet and keep your head down without coming to terms with who you really are and what you value. Dude admired Mark Twain, and while that might be somewhat pretentious to imitate him, Wolfe did this in defiance of the oblivion he assumed awaited. He didn't hold it in while pretending to be a regular dude. He did his thing.
