The Bonfire of the Vanities
Tom Wolfe
October 1987
Tom Wolfe's story is a unique crime drama about ambition, racism, social class, politics, and greed in 1980s New York City, and centers on three main characters: WASP bond trader Sherman McCoy, Assistant District Attorney Larry Kramer, and British expatriate journalist Peter Fallow. The story was originally written in installments for Rolling Stone Magazine and afterward was heavily revised as a novel.
Editor's Note: (Please don't watch the movie, it's dog shit)
