This was my loss, and I hope you don't follow in my footsteps. Start reading him now - and start with this anthology.While Wolfe wasn't a sociologist, all of his writing contains lengthy passages containing minute, obsessive, clinical detail of his subjects' dress, hairstyles, social interactions and speech patterns. These alternate with some surprisingly folky attitude and some almost Byzantine-like complex passages (which can be very difficult to follow if you are not a native English speaker with an extensive SAT-level vocabulary). The essays included here are among the earliest of Wolfe's "New Journalism" style which, while nonfiction, are not too different from the style of his much later novels. Some of these essays age better than others (all were written in the early 1960s) as they almost universally focus on the pop culture of the day and some of that culture is now totally obscure to anyone who didn't live through it. You've probably realized that I regard this volume as a bit challenging to get through, but it's certainly worth it and is a very rewarding experience. (Wolfe did simplify matters considerably as his writing style evolved throughout this career).The essays alternate in focus between low-brow culture (disk jockeys, hot rod culture, stock car racing, gossipy tabloid publishers) and high-brow culture (the modern art scene, high society socials). Wolfe's sympathies are almost always with low-brow culture, which sometimes (but not always) allies himself with teenagers, but mostly with working-class midwesterners and Southerners. His high-brow writing is more obviously satirical in tone, and he has little patience for the comedies of manners that passed for etiquitte among New York City's elite in the 1960s.Most reviewers will single out "The Last American Hero" (an article about early NASCAR legend Junior Johnson) as the book's high point. While that is indeed what I would agree is the best-written article here, I think the true heart of the book is "Girl of the Year" which shows an intersection between the youth culture one would think would have Wolfe's sympathies, and the ritzy New York debutante culture that pops up in tabloids and fashion magazines before falling into obscurity. (It also has a hilarious, if unflattering, portrayal of the Rolling Stones).Put in the effort to read this collection, and you will be rewarded with an increased vocabulary, a much better understanding of what early 1960s culture was like, and a great idea of where Tom Wolfe's later explorations would take him. This collection is a true treasure. ### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ 5.0 out of 5 stars No ever will be able to cut, slice and dice the American psyche like Tom Wolfe *by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on January 17, 2024* What more can be said about one of the best observers of the human condition than this author --- ## Why Shop on Desertcart? - 🛒 **Trusted by 1.3+ Million Shoppers** — Serving international shoppers since 2016 - 🌍 **Shop Globally** — Access 737+ million products across 21 categories - 💰 **No Hidden Fees** — All customs, duties, and taxes included in the price - 🔄 **15-Day Free Returns** — Hassle-free returns (30 days for PRO members) - 🔒 **Secure Payments** — Trusted payment options with buyer protection - ⭐ **TrustPilot Rated 4.5/5** — Based on 8,000+ happy customer reviews **Shop now:** [https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4665509-the-kandy-kolored-tangerine-flake-streamline-baby](https://www.desertcart.hr/products/4665509-the-kandy-kolored-tangerine-flake-streamline-baby) --- *Product available on Desertcart Croatia* *Store origin: HR* *Last updated: 2026-05-22*
