Костры амбиций
том второй
От издателя
В романе по-журналистски точно воспроизводится картина жизни современного Нью-Йорка: умело выстроенная интрига заставляет читателя с интересом наблюдать, как сколачивается капитал и строится политическая карьера героев, как жизнь одних с легкостью приносится в жертву амбициозным устремлениям других, но кто-то сгорает в кострах амбиций, а кто-то возрождается из пепла, словно Феникс.

About the author
Tom Wolfe
153 books3,477 followersWolfe was educated at Washington and Lee Universities and also at Yale, where he received a PhD in American studies.
Tom Wolfe spent his early days as a Washington Post beat reporter, where his free-association, onomatopoetic style would later become the trademark of New Journalism. In books such as The Electric Koolaid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, and The Bonfire of the Vanities, Wolfe delves into the inner workings of the mind, writing about the unconscious decisions people make in their lives. His attention to eccentricities of human behavior and language and to questions of social status are considered unparalleled in the American literary canon.
He is one of the founders of the New Journalism movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
Tom Wolfe is also famous for coining and defining the term fiction-absolute .

Мне понравилось, как Том Вульф использует киношный приём, описывая несколько несвязанных сюжетных линий, которые объединяются в конце.
