New York: Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 2004.

First edition of this “hilarious, exclamation-point filled novel” (John Freeman). Octavo, original half cloth. Association copy, warmly inscribed by the author on the title page, “To Henry Marks my fellow Rolling Stoner. Tom Wolfe.” The recipient, Henry Marks was a Rolling Stone writer and colleague of Wolfe’s. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Susan Mitchell. A nice association.

With his trademark satirical wit and famously sharp eye for telling detail, Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons draws on extensive observations at campuses across the country to immortalize the early-21st-century college-going experience. “Wolfe is one of the greatest literary stylists and social observers of our much observed postmodern era. . . . A rich, wise, absorbing, and irresistible novel" (Lev Grossman, Time).
