Reviews
"A big, bitter, funny, craftily plotted book that grabs you by the lapels and won't let go." --The New York Times Book Review "It's the human comedy, on a skyscraper scale and at a taxi-meter pace . . . . " --Newsweek "Bonfiremoves with a swift comic logic . . . . An innovative and imaginative and intricate plot . . . welds Wolfe's descriptions of dinner parties, restaurant games, Wall Street trading and courthouse chaos into more than a tour de force." --Time "Impossible to put down . . ." --The Wall Street Journal "A superb human comedy and the first novel ever to get contemporary New York, in all its arrogance and shame and heterogeneity and insularity, exactly right." --Washington Post Book World. "Brilliant--Bonfireillumines the modern madness that [was] New York in the 1980s with the intense precision of a laser beam." --People "One of the most impressive novels of the decade." --Library Journal "Delicious fun." --The New York Times

Synopsis
Tom Wolfe's modern American satire tells the story of Sherman McCoy, a Wall Street "Master of the Universe" who has it all - a Park Avenue apartment, a job that brings wealth, power and prestige, a beautiful wife, an even more beautiful mistress. Suddenly, one wrong turn makes it all go wrong, and Sherman spirals downward in a sudden fall from grace that sucks him into the ravenous heart of a New York City gone mad during the go-go, racially turbulent, socially hilarious 1980s. From the Trade Paperback edition.
