First edition of this “hilarious, exclamation-point filled novel” (John Freeman). Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, boldly inscribed by the author on the half-title page, “To the Michaels Charlotte Simmons c’est Moi! Tom Wolfe.” Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Susan Mitchell.
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).
