I'd read Bonfire of the Vanities years ago, and enjoyed that, but had not read more than a few of Wolfe's essays since. Here, Wolfe's politics color the whole story, but what a story - a sort of neo-Dickensian tale of real estate chicanery, race relations, generational divides, and class warfare, all set against the backdrop of Atlanta. It was very entertaining, and presents a fairly coherent vision of America in the 1990s.]]>
