Onward and Upward

RECENTLY READ - A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe

I tried to ignore the seething criticism that it seems most of the literary community has for Tom Wolfe, calling his style “elevated journalism” rather than true novel writing. I think ignoring this made me really enjoy this book.

I grew up in Atlanta and found that Charlie Croker is the combination of several Southern business men I knew. Also, I couldn’t help but think of T. Boone Pickens the entire time. Very enjoyable read, and interesting character studies on both ends of the economic spectrum.
