Hooking Up - Essays and Fiction

Author(s): Tom Wolfe

Essays | Literary Fiction

A perfect introduction to Tom Wolfe's brilliant and masterful journalism.In Hooking Up Tom Wolfe ranges from coast to coast, observing the 'lurid carnival actually taking place in the mightiest country on earth in the year 2000' - everything from teenage sexual manners to how genetics and neuroscience are changing the way we regard ourselves. Also included in this collection are some of his most classic and enduring pieces of journalism, and 'Ambush art at Fort Bragg', his fiercely satirical novella about sting TV.Funny, often savagely so, hard-hitting and wise, Wolfe remains a unique master-chronicler of America and its future.
