Wolfe's "A Man In Full" (I think was the name) was not his best but it does an outstanding job on creating a portrait of Atlanta. Wolfe is a social critic who uses fiction.

Hi, bkepley:


Wolfe is a social critic who uses fiction.

Kinda gathered that. Which might explain why "Bonfire of the Vanities" was such a great novel critiquing New York Liberalism evolved into such a convolutedly bad Hollywood disaster.
