Media Reviews

"[There is] a lingering rhetorical 'so what?' that one asks oneself after reading some of the pieces, simply because, no matter how fresh a treatment an unrefreshing subject is given, one still remains bored....And yet, Tom Wolfe manages somehow to imbue them all with a semblance of life, no matter how depressing they may seem. The best piece in this collection is 'Bob and Spike,' ...a devastating caricature of New York society and its art world....Unfortunately, however, [his book] isn't really much more than a remake, a Son of 'Kandy-Kolored'. It's good enough, but not in the same league as 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'."
