Just read Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak-Catchers--the man should definitely be revered--a great scribbler. Much to learn from the man.

I could listen to Tom Wolfe talk all day.

@jizzfish Here are two: Atonement (2002) Ian McEwan, and The Blind Assassin (2000) Margaret Atwood. You are right, though, most greats were written before the last decade and produced on typewriters, not PCs....K

@kaymcclain1 In that case could you please recommend a good novel that has been written in the past 10 years, I haven't been able to find one in a very long time.

the closest I've come is "the road" by cormac mcarthy but even that doesn't hold up to the worst of collection from the 20th century.

I'm not happy to hear Wolfe's idea that the novelist is a dying breed nor do I agree with him. The best writers will still make it but there will be less demand for the Danielle Steels or Jackie Collins of the writing world...K

I love all of Wolfe's work but he couldn't write a good love scene, not like D.H. Lawrence could, such as, Lady's Chatterley's Lover or The Rainbow......K
