Sobre este artículo
1988 17th printing flatsigned by the author on the ffep, with a label that says "International Place, February 1990" also on ffep . Dampstain rippling near top of page through WHOLE BOOK (not so bad in first part but gets worse as you go towards the back, particularly the last 200 pages), tanning on dj flaps, tiny bit of edgewear, a little soil and sunning on cover, else text clean, binding tight . ISBN as listed but with original dj, different than pictured. Oversize book – extra shipping charges will apply for international and priority orders as this will not fit into a flat rate envelope
Sinopsis
The Bonfire of the Vanities is a 1987 satirical novel by Tom Wolfe. The book is a drama about ambition, racism, social class, politics, and greed in 1980s New York City. It focuses on three characters: WASP bond trader Sherman McCoy, Jewish assistant district attorney Larry Kramer, and British expatriate journalist Peter Fallow. Sherman McCoy, a self-appointed 'Master of the Universe,' has a fashionable wife, a Park Avenue apartment, and a Southern mistress. His spectacular fall begins the moment he is involved in a hit-and-run accident in the Bronx. Prosecutors, newspaper hacks, politicians, and clergy close in on him, determined to bring him down. The Bonfire of the Vanities is a caustic satire on the money-feverish Eighties. This exuberant novel cemented Wolfe's reputation as the foremost chronicler of his age. The novel was originally created as a serial in the style of Charles Dickens' writings, running 27 installments in Rolling Stone starting in 1984. The novel was a bestseller and an incredible success often noted as one of Wolfe’s greatest works.

Hi. Thanks for looking at my storefront. I have been a bookseller since 1981 . I have worked for such national and local New York booksellers as Barnes and Noble, Marboro Books (B&N's mail order division) , Shakespeare and Company, The Mysterious Bookshop, Cooper Square Books, and Bookazine Wholesalers. I have also been a sales representative for a number of small book presses.
