Publisher Description
NOW A MAJOR NETFLIX SERIES
A dissection of greed-obsessed America a decade after The Bonfire of the Vanities and on the cusp of the millennium, from the master chronicler of American culture Tom Wolfe
Charlie Croker, once a fabled college football star, is now a late-middle-aged Atlanta real estate entrepreneur-turned conglomerate king. His expansionist ambitions and outsize ego have at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 28,000 acre quail shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife and a half-empty downtown tower with a staggering load of debt. Wolfe shows us contemporary America with all the verve, wit, and insight that have made him our most admired novelist.
‘Enthralling enough even to satisfy The Bonfire of the Vanities devotees...humane and redemptive’ – Sunday Times

Review of “A Man In Full”
Superb book. Wolfe’s book are visual, auditory and intimately descriptive in such a way that films of them can never do them justice. He leaves nothing out. This book could be considered a bible of Stoicism. Whoever could read it and not reconsider their life is, I would say, a complacent individual.
