| Résumé: |
In 1965, Tom Wolfe dropped like a bomb onto the American literary scene with his first book, The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, an incandescent panorama of American counterculture, its dances, bouffant hairdos, customised cars and rock concerts. Capturing the energy of the age in its portraits of Phil Spector, Cassius Clay, Las Vegas and the Nanny Mafia as well as asking, why do doormen hate Volkswagens? Wolfe’s flamboyant essay collection remains one of the great, revolutionary landmarks of modern non-fiction |
