Tom Wolfe shows us the mad spectacle of American life at millennium's end.
¿¿Tom Wolfe surveys America on the threshold of a new millennium, observing "the lurid carnival actually taking place in the mightiest country on earth in the year 2000."
No corner of the frantically, gropingly changing country is sheltered from his keen, satirical eye. He fixes his gaze on the transformations in the mating rituals of the American teenager, and examines how quantum advances in science are changing the way we see ourselves. Hooking Up also brings back Wolfe's infamous diatribe lampooning his contemporaries Norman Mailer, John Updike, and John Irving, and his legendary profile of William Shawn, editor of The New Yorker.
With Hooking Up, Wolfe shows us a vision of America raring to change as it enters a new era.
