Hardcover. Condition: Very good. Dust Jacket Condition: Fair. Tom Wolfe (illustrator). First Printing [Stated]. Format is approximately 8.75 inches by 11.25 inches. [8], 119 pages. Signed by the author, Tom Wolfe, on the front free endpaper. DJ has wear, tears, soiling, and chips. Includes chapters on Stiffened Giblets; Entr'actes and Canapes; In Our Time; The Man Who Always Peaked Too Soon; Portraits; The World of Art; The Bohemian Hedge, California, England, and New York. Special thanks were given to Harper's where the feature called "In Our Time" originates, and where the drawings on pages 2, 6, 12, 24-54, and 70 first appeared. Tom Wolfe introduces us to the inhabitants of this cockeyed landscape--The New Cookie, ''the girl in her twenties for whom the American male now customarily shucks his wife of two to four decades when the electrolysis gullies appear above her upper lip"; The Modern Mother, who is more childish than her children; The Fondly Trusting Father as he first opens the door to his daughter's coed dorm room. Most of the drawings in this volume were done over the past three years, but the book also provides a retrospective of Wolfe's twenty-three years as a graphic artist. In 1980, Tom Wolfe received the American Academy and Institute of Arts and Letters Harold D. Vursell Memorial Award for achievement in prose style; the Columbia Journalism Award, which is the Columbia School of Journalism's highest honor; and the National Sculpture Society's special citation for art history. In this work, Wolfe focuses on the changing mores and social landscape of the 1980s, with drawings from two decades as a graphic artist. Tom Wolfe (1930-2018) was a contributing editor to Harper's. Some of his most influential writings were published in that magazine, including "The Painted Word," "Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast," and "From Bauhaus to Our House." His essays and journalism, as elegant as the figure he cut, have greatly enhanced the esteem Harper's has enjoyed over the past half century. Thomas Kennerly Wolfe Jr. (March 2, 1930 - May 14, 2018)[a] was an American author and journalist widely known for his association with New Journalism, a style of news writing and journalism developed in the 1960s and 1970s that incorporated literary techniques. Wolfe began his career as a regional newspaper reporter in the 1950s, achieving national prominence in the 1960s following the publication of such best-selling books as The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test (a highly experimental account of Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters) and two collections of articles and essays, Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers and The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby. In 1979, he published the influential book The Right Stuff about the Mercury Seven astronauts, which was made into a 1983 film of the same name directed by Philip Kaufman. His first novel, The Bonfire of the Vanities, published in 1987, was met with critical acclaim and also became a commercial success. It was adapted as a major motion picture of the same name directed by Brian De Palma.
