About This Item
London : Jonathan Cape, (1966). First British edition. Wolfe's first collection - twenty-two essays and half a dozen caricatures. An entirely new voice in journalism skyrockets metaphors, neologisms, hip-talk and learned reference into the pursuit of the form and style of the new. Includes "The Fifth Beatle", "The First Tycoon of Teen", "The Last American Hero", "The Girl of the Year", "The Nanny Mafia", "A Sunday Kind of Love", "The Woman Who Has Everything", "Why Doormen Hate Volkswagens", etc. First published in New York the previous year, but here in the period-defining dust-jacket by Jonathan Miller. Post 8vo (21cm). (xviii),(340),[iv]pp. Original pink boards, blocked and lettered in gilt; mild tanning of edges, but a very good copy in the dust-jacket - a touch sunned, with some very minor edge-wear and a single short tear, but also very good.
