Title: Don't Bother
Review: In general I love Tom Wolfe's work especially Man in Full. Quite frankly I found this volume of old essays dull. The essay on the founding of HP was interesting. Much of the rest of the book appeared to be an attempt to make himself feel more important by taking shots at any who criticize him... see My Three Stooges. Ambush at Fort Bragg would be more interesting if I could determine his point of attack. Did he attack the media or the homophobic soldiers? The last portion of the book about his clash with the New Yorker would be a lot more interesting if I was 20 years older and lived in or cared about NYC. I couldn't finish this book and that has only happened one other time. Maybe I'm just not as smart as Mr. Wolfe would require I be to read this book. Don't bother.
