Tom Wolfe: A Bibliographic Analysis

by Eric C. Shoaf, James Rosen (Foreword)

Tom Wolfe is one of the most prolific authors of the past century. Journalist, novelist, culture commentator, and newspaperman, he developed reporting techniques that he later brought to use in writing novels. Best known for books "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" as well as "The Right Stuff" and the novel "Bonfire of the Vanities," Wolfe stands as a towering man of letters. Now comes a bibliography documenting his prodigious output. The product of thirty years research by a bibliographic specialist, the book provides complete citations, many annotated, about Wolfe's books, contributions to journals, magazines, other books, periodicals, newspapers, as well as interviews and other biographical works. The newspaper section lists over 600 entries alone, and the book thoroughly documents some 2,000-plus articles written by Wolfe. For the researcher, writer, Wolfe enthusiast, and collector, this book is a massive success at identifying and collating all of Wolfe's printed output.
