Title: It's nice to read a master again
Product review: Tom Wolfe is a real writer, one who values the context as much as the angst of his characters. While some readers may find it reminiscent of 19th century novels and their focus on manners, I find it refreshing to live with believable people who are both the shapers and the products of their society. And is there anyone who can draw pictures in words as well as Wolfe? At times, I laughed aloud: he was describing people I see every day - their movements, their clothes (what a fabulous eye the man has!), their sweat stains. He also has them talk, and the sounds of Hawaiian pidgen, Georgia cracker, California Okie, urban street talk, and whiney bankdom (among others)all ring true. Don't miss this book: there's much to learn and enjoy from these pages.
