Synopsis
Tom Wolfe's THE BONFIRE OF THE VANITIES defined an era and established Wolfe as our prime fictional chronicler of America at its most outrageous and alive. In his #1 New York Times bestseller and National Book Award finalist, A MAN IN FULL, the setting shifts to Atlanta, Georgia--a racially mixed late-century boomtown teeming with fresh wealth, avid speculators, and worldly-wise politicians." Don't miss the star-studded mini series adaptation of A Man in Full-coming soon to Netflix . Big men. Big money. Big games. Big libidos. Big trouble. The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta real-estate entrepreneur turned conglomerate king, whose expansionist ambitions and outsize ego have at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 28,000-acre quail-shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife--and a half-empty office tower with a staggering load of debt. When star running back Fareek Fanon--the pride of one of Atlanta's grimmest slums--is accused of raping an Atlanta blueblood's daughter, the city's delicate racial balance is shattered overnight. Networks of illegal Asian immigrants crisscrossing the continent, daily life behind bars, shady real-estate syndicates, cast-off first wives of the corporate elite, the racially charged politics of college sports--Wolfe shows us the disparate worlds of contemporary America with all the verve, wit, and insight that have made him our most phenomenal, most admired contemporary novelist. Praise for A Man in Full: "A masterpiece." --The Wall Street Journal "The novel contains passages as powerful and as beautiful as anything written--not merely by contemporary American novelists but by any American novelist. . . .

    In fantastic condition, as advertised. I messed up on my default address (recently moved) and the seller was helpful and suggested we bundle the order together with a different book I was looking at for better shipping cost

    Just received my new book, Truman, by David McCullough. It came sooner than expected. The book was wrapped and padded very well. I highly recommend this bookseller, Jons-books.

    Great Novel in Great Condition

    The book was in great condition with a like-new dust jacket, a pristine hard cover, no bent, torn, or missing pages, and an easy-to-read font. It was a great deal.

    Hard to put this one down.

    Tom Wolfe is an accomplished writer. The story is perfect mystery and conflict with seamless transitions and timeless scenery.

    terrific read!

    Wolfe is a wonderful story teller and I am saddened knowing he is no longer with us to share his gift.
