About this product

Product Information

Big men. Big money. Big games. Big libidos. Big trouble. A decade ago, The Bonfire of the Vanities defined an era--and established Tom Wolfe as our prime fictional chronicler of America at its most outrageous and alive. This time the setting is Atlanta, Georgia--a racially mixed late-century boomtown full of fresh wealth, avid speculators, and worldly-wise politicians. The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta real-estate entrepreneur turned conglomerate king, whose expansionist ambitions and outsize ego have at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 28,000-acre quail-shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife--and a half-empty office tower with a staggering load of debt. When star running back Fareek Fanon--the pride of one of Atlanta's grimmest slums--is accused of raping an Atlanta blueblood's daughter, the city's delicate racial balance is shattered overnight. Networks of illegal Asian immigrants crisscrossing the continent, daily life behind bars, shady real-estate syndicates, cast-off first wives of the corporate elite, the racially charged politics of college sports--Wolfe shows us the disparate worlds of contemporary America with all the verve, wit, and insight that have made him our most phenomenal, most admired contemporary novelist. A Man in Full is a 1998 National Book Award Finalist for Fiction.

The book is in perfect condition, brand new, and is exactly as described. This item is difficult to find here, and the seller priced it very reasonably. It shipped from the UK to Canada, and unfortunately took a little longer to arrive than the seller hoped, but it was shipped less than 24 hours after I purchased. When I contacted the seller, they were very responsive and helpful. I would not hesitate to purchase from this seller again. Definitely recommend!

  • Worth the ten year wait!

    It took Mr. Wolfe ten years to write this book; it's a big fat long one too. And utterly fascinating. OK, I'm a dyed in the wool TW fan. This book has every thing you love about his work, the details of 1990's culture, the documentation of detail that will make the book interesting a century from now, the twists- Stoic philosophers?- that make a great novel,and the story flows like a great TV series, the kind you arrange your lif around (but so does every one you know) Lots of shallow rich people, tidbits about actual High Society, journalism crossed with Names Have Been Changed To Keep You Guessing... Reading Tom Wolfe is always a joy. So I'd lost my prescious first editin in the New Orleans flood, and snagged a replacement on Ebay. I reread Mr. Wolfes books pretty regularly and HAVE to ...

  • Great Novel in Great Condition

    The book was in great condition with a like-new dust jacket, a pristine hard cover, no bent, torn, or missing pages, and an easy-to-read font. It was a great deal.
