WOLFE, Tom.

Item Number: 131299

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, “For Felix Dennis, the man who introduced music and emotion into contemporary poetry Merry Christmas, Maestro Tom Wolfe.” Wolfe has drawn an exclamation point and colored it in green and red. The recipient, Felix Dennis was a poet,
philanthropist, magazine publisher and a close friend of Wolfe’s. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Susan Mitchell. An exceptional 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).
