#weRemember #TomWolfe Clarify please . I assumed you all were referring to Tom Wolfe who wrote Bonfire of the Vanities (1930-2018) and not Thomas Wolfe who wrote Look Homeward Angel & You Can‘t Go Home Again (1900-1938) 🤔I like both anyway.The more contemporary Tom is on the right.

Eggs Yes that‘s all true!! 2y

His daughter was in my class at Duke (never crossed paths), and apparently this was based on her time there. I haven‘t read it, but I don‘t think it‘s one of his more popular novels. It‘s been on my TBR forever just for the connection.

Megabooks @BarbaraBB what did you think? 2y
BarbaraBB It was a long time ago and I liked though not as much as 2y
BarbaraBB Very cool though that it‘s set at Duke‘s. I didn‘t notice at the time - or didn‘t pay attention to that fact! 2y
tokorowilliamwallace I think I got through 2/3s of it while I had it checked out from the library (likely using up all the renewals I could), but I thought the character of Charlotte Simmons really worked well and sparkled. I think we need more female protagonists like her. 2y
Megabooks @BarbaraBB @tokorowilliamwallace I think it‘s time I got around to it this year! 2y
BarbaraBB @Megabooks I would if I were you. I remember it as a real campus novel; the Duke setting will probably be very recognizable to you. 2y

Wolfe was one-of-a-kind. The tagged book was first published in 1968 and I read it in college in 1971 - his personal experiences interacting/interviewing people involved with the late 1960's counterculture revolution.

Painted Word | Tom Wolfe

Ed Clark‘s “Winter Bitch” at the Whitney in NYC.

This books has given me a lot when it comes to “understanding” modern art. But sometimes I get tired of all the theory and just want to see some technical paintings.

What art do you love?
