A decade ago, "The Bonfire of the Vanities" defined an era--and established Tom Wolfe as a major fiction chronicler of America at its most outrageous and alive. In his new novel, set in present-day Atlanta, Wolfe shows readers the disparate worlds of contemporary America, as he chronicles the story of an event that shatters the city's delicate racial balance.
