Tom Wolfe has died

‎05-15-2018 02:14 PM

I read it in Community Chat.  I never used to go there, at the moment not sure I should LOL, and I know some of you don't.

 

Author of  "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" (which a decade after its publication, my friends and I would think the coolest book ever and"Bonfire of the Vanities" and many other pieces of journalism and novels.

 

RIP.

Yes, @LoriLori, what a vacancy he leaves.  Wonderful satirist.

Genius.  I particularly like A Man in Full, Bonfire of the Vanities, and Hooking Up.

 

One of a kind talent.  Scathing social commentator.
