What do you say?</p>LanceMannionSat, 21 Jun 2008 10:12:12 -0000http://newcritics.com/blog1/2008/06/14/grand-old-man-of-the-new-journalism/#comment-694451<p>Man oh man, how I used to love Wolfe's write stuff. But Bonfire of the Vanities soured me a bit, and not because of its politics, but because it was so hamhanded in its characterizations. And then I learned that my favorite of his non-fiction books, The Right Stuff, included a fair amount of fiction. Now I'm no longer sure what I think, unless I'm actually reading something by him. Then I tend to think, Wow can this man tell a really fine lie!</p>LanceMannionTue, 17 Jun 2008 17:09:26 -0000
