About this ebook

"An excellent book by a genius," said Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., of this now classic exploration of the 1960s from the founder of new journalism.

"This is a book that will be a sharp pleasure to reread years from now, when it will bring back, like a falcon in the sky of memory, a whole world that is currently jetting and jazzing its way somewhere or other."--Newsweek

In his first book, The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (1965) Wolfe introduces us to the sixties, to extravagant new styles of life that had nothing to do with the "elite" culture of the past.

    Wolfe's interesting exposé of various aspects of the early 60's. Very interesting read, particularly with the amount of time has passed. It's a contemporary look at that period of time.

    I was very excited to read this book. The first third I loved it. It has a definate flow. you need to get into the flow to read it. It definately had a very close feel to the works of Hunter Thompson; very descriptive with humerous undertones. As I flew through the first third, I looked forward to reading it and picked it up every night. Entering the second section I found it dropped off dramatically. At times it was even hard to follow. Im not sure if I lost the flow or if the second and third sections were just completely diff. I actually had to push myself to finish this book, which was sad due to my passion at the start.either way, I definately recommend this title. Maynbe I missed something?

    Tom Wolfe gives us a collection of snapshots from America in the late 1960's in this collection of short stories. He introduces us to such characters as Murray the K, Phil Spector, Jimmy Johnson, as well as a slew of stories about New Yorkers. All are non-fiction and all are told in that characteristic Wolfe style. A must read for any fan of Wolfe or anyone looking to gain insight into America at that particular time period.
