[Bernard Marx]

Thomas Wolfe is a pioneer of the “new journalism” of the sixties, the meshing of the personal with the public.

You'd think a professor of English would know the difference between Tom Wolfe and his namesake Thomas Wolfe of "Look Homeward Angel" fame. Tom Wolfe did indeed venture into new literary waters with fine work like "The Kandy-Colored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby" and "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" and more. And thankfully he's one of the more conservatively-oriented novelists writing today.
