Reissued for today’s reader with a cover by the renowned artist Seymour Chwast and an introduction by the critically acclaimed author Taffy Brodesser-Akner, The Bonfire of the Vanities is vintage Tom Wolfe at his best.
“No one has portrayed New York Society this accurately and devastatingly since Edith Wharton.” ―The National Review
“A page-turner . . . Brilliant high comedy.” ―The New Republic
The Bonfire of the Vanities, Tom Wolfe’s panoramic novel of the go-go New York City of the 1980s, has lost none of its furious luster. Its portrait of power (those who have it and those who want it) and the book’s dissection of racial tensions simmering below the city’s gleaming veneer have only grown more pointed with time. Wolfe is unblinking, lavish, gleeful, and damning in this larger-than-life vision of the ’80s, reinforcing his reputation as an unmatched chronicler of the twisted, contradictory, and glamorous abodes of power
and wealth.
