Review
"You only had to look at him... or read such books as The Bonfire of the Vanities and The Right Stuff to know that Tom Wolfe was like no other" -- John Pye * The Scotsman * "Journalism, it is said, is the first draft of history. Nobody exemplifies the dictum better than Wolfe, the cultural observer and social critic par excellence" -- Mick Brown * Daily Telegraph * "Effortlessly, elegantly, Tom Wolfe bestrode both fiction and non-fiction... a style at once objective, subjective, and hallucinatory" -- Andy Martin * Independent * "[Tom Wolfe's] gleeful use of punctuation and italics, along with entertaining asides and neologisms that often quickly cemented themselves into the English lexicon, helped Wolfe stand out from other journalists" * Guardian * "[Wolfe] made literature fun and bores don't like fun" -- Freddy Gray * The Catholic Herald *

Paperback. Condition: new. Paperback. The first of Tom Wolfe's genre-defining non-fiction books, reissued to coincide with the fiftieth anniversary of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid TestTom Wolfe's debut collection of essays - a brilliant, form-bending dive into the future of America as it careened through the 1960sIn 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 counter-culture, 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.'Journalism, it is said, is the first draft of history. Nobody exemplifies the dictum better than Wolfe, the cultural observer and social critic par excellence' Daily Telegraph 'Verdict: excellent book by a genius' Kurt VonnegutIn this, his first book and one of the landmarks of the New Journalism, Tom Wolfe managed to look at the American scene of the early 1960s afresh and to zero in on the more exotic forms of status-seeking then in vogue from New York to Los Angeles.
