Wolfe had a collection of essays and a couple short stories - one of which was a chapter that was dropped from the published edition of A MAN IN FULL - out a couple of years ago. It was very good. Many of the subjects he touched on there turn up in CHARLOTTE SIMMONS: the soul versus neuroscience, the mainstreaming of homosexuality, the situation on our campuses, etc. I'm sorry I cannot remember the name of it.

He strikes me as a guy who doesn't care much for the South or for women. That's not based on any interviews, just on his portrayals in his writing. I think he's over-rated but to each his own. The book I am enjoying lately, Eats, Shoots and Leaves would probably bore most fiction readers to tears. :-)
