Tom Wolfe - Charlotte Simmons
Tom Wolfe, I am Charlotte Simmons,
Picador
This new one from Tom Wolfe is relatively new out in paperback
and concerns the life of a very bright girl from the sticks of
North Carolina going on to a prestigious college full of ... swine!
All of Tom Wolfe's trademark exclamations, clever asides and
observation make for something that some people have found very
funny and others might find somewhat depressing. There are geeks
and jocks, frat boys and preppies, and back-country neandrathals --
and almost none of them have any human appeal whatsoever. But
maybe that's funny in itself.
