Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf? is a play by Edward Albee first staged in 1962. It examines the complexities of the marriage of a middle-aged couple, Martha and George. Late one evening, after a university faculty party, they receive an unwitting younger couple, Nick and Honey, as guests, and draw them into their bitter and frustrated relationship. The play is in three acts, normally taking a little less than three hours to

both of them. Wolfe collects both the $50,000 reward that Barstow's widow had offered for the capture of his killer, and another $10,000 from a district attorney who had been skeptical of the murder theory. Wolfe comments that the climax of the case gave both E.D. and Manuel a chance to end their lives without any sense of bitterness or despair, but Archie notes that it also keeps Wolfe from having to leave his comfortable house in order to testify at a murder trial. "Like all of us, Wolfe has his favorite words, phrases, and sayings," wrote William S. Baring-Gould.

"As the one who extended the life of Rex’s Stout’s famed private eye Nero Wolfe with seven novels in the 1980s and ’90s, I got both praise and derision — praise from readers who were glad to have more tales of Wolfe and his loyal right-hand, Archie Goodwin, and derision from those who either lamented that 'you haven’t got it right' or who felt fictional characters should be allowed to die with their creators," Goldsborough wrote in 2011.

Tom Wolfe, who joined the paper after working at "The Washington Post", wrote lengthy features about city life; asking an editor how long his pieces should be, he received the reply "until it gets boring." Bellows soon moved Wolfe to the "Tribune"s new Sunday magazine, "New York" edited by Clay Felker. Bellows also prominently featured Jimmy Breslin in the columns of the "Tribune," as well as writer Gail Sheehy. Editorially, the newspaper remained in the liberal Republican camp, both strongly anti-communist and supportive of civil rights.

The novel was published by Farrar & Rinehart in October 1934, and in abridged form as "Point of Death" in "The American Magazine" (November 1934). The characters of Wolfe and Goodwin are considered among Stout's main contributions to detective fiction. Wolfe was described by reviewer Will Cuppy as "that Falstaff of detectives." In 1937, Stout's novel "The Hand in the Glove" introduced the character of Theodolinda "Dol" Bonner, a female private detective who would appear in later Wolfe stories and who is an early and significant

Among others, writers Neil Gaiman and Patrick O'Leary have credited Wolfe for inspiration. O'Leary has said: "Forget 'Speculative Fiction'. Gene Wolfe is the best writer alive. Period.

Wolfe said that the outfit disarmed the people he observed, making him, in their eyes, "a man from Mars, the man who didn't know anything and was eager to know." In 1989, Wolfe wrote an essay for "Harper's Magazine" titled "Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast". It criticized modern American novelists for failing to engage fully with their subjects, and suggested that modern literature could be saved by a greater reliance on journalistic technique. Wolfe

The book was found, edited, and produced by Suzanne Stutman, a Wolfe scholar who also edited the 2003 book "My Other Loneliness: Letters of Thomas Wolfe and Aline Bernstein". It has been described as a novel, but also as a "novel-length fragment", a "hastily... lashed together... welter of vignettes" making for "an unfinished novel", and "not so much a novel as it is a rich collection of reminiscences and tableaux" Wolfe wrote

Tom Wolfe wrote in his essay "Pornoviolence": "The book is neither a who-done-it nor a will-they-be-caught, since the answers to both questions are known from the outset...

The essay launched a feud between Wolfe and other prominent literary figures that never ended. In 2000, he called John Irving, John Updike and Norman Mailer, "the three stooges" in response to their criticisms of his novels.

The decidedly un-Wolfean character is played by Dennie Moore, memorable for her performance as Olga the gossipy manicurist in the 1939 film, "The Women".

Wolfe, on the ground, opened his eyes and asked who was running.

"The New York Times" however, suggested that Wolfe's latest effort most closely resembled the French author Louis-Ferdinand Céline, who in the early 20th century, wrote in a highly colloquial style, and delved deeply into the anxieties of his characters. Because Wolfe's subjects in "Mauve Gloves" were not people on the fringes of society, the New York Times critic argued that Wolfe had begun to rely more heavily on "writing "qua" writing," and less on the inherent zaniness of his subjects.
