A Man In Full

A dissection of greed-obsessed America a decade after The Bonfire of the Vanities and on the cusp of the millennium, from the master chronicler of American culture Tom Wolfe.

Meet Charlie Croker

• Once a fabled college football star, Charlie is now a late-middle-aged Atlanta real estate entrepreneur-turned conglomerate king.
• His expansionist ambitions and outsize ego have finally collided with reality.

A Life of Excess

• Charlie owns a 28,000-acre quail shooting plantation.
• He has a young and demanding second wife.
• His downtown tower stands half-empty, burdened with a staggering load of debt.

Tom Wolfe captures contemporary America with all the verve, wit, and insight that have made him one of our most admired novelists.
