Synopsis Author

In Our Time is a biting collection of Tom Wolfe’s essays and illustrations cataloging and critiquing the state of 1970s American society. In this slim but unsparing collection of razor-sharp observations and mordant caricatures, Wolfe reaffirms his role as the great chronicler, debunker, and exuberant plain speaker of American letters. Wolfe’s joyriding satirical tour through the emerging American archetypes of the 1970s is an essential portrait of the delirious, madding decade.

Tom Wolfe

Tom Wolfe was one of the few true titans of American writing. As a journalist (as typified in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test) he became the great chronicler of the countercultural revolution; as a novelist, in The Bonfire of the Vanities, he skewered yuppie excess to create perhaps the defining novel of the 80s. The Right Stuff, his pitch-perfect account of the space race, magnificently bridged the gulf between both disciplines
