Wolfe, Tom Hooking Up
PA The Franklin Library 2000 Limited First Edition SIGNED by the Author
In Fine condition. Bound in full black morocco. Both the spine and the front board are stamped in gilt and bright white. Raised bands on the spine. All page-edges are gilt. Quarto. Marbeled endpapers and red ribbon bookmark. There are two small and unobtrusive rubs to the gilt near the bottom of the fore-edge, otherwise flawless: clean, tight, square, and bright. All tips are sharp. Yet to be read. Privately printed and personally signed exclusively for members of The Signed First Edition Society. Frontispiece by Mark Rogalski.
"...Wolfe ranges from coast to coast, chronicling everything from the sexual manners and mores of teenagers ... to fundamental changes in the way human beings now regard themselves, thanks to the hot new fields of genetics and neuroscience ... to the reasons why, at the dawn of a new millennium, no one is celebrating the second American Century.
Printed here in its entirety is 'Ambush at Fort Bragg,' a novella about sting TV which has prefigured with eerie accuracy three cases of scandal and betrayal that have lately exploded in the press, as well as Wolfe's forecasts ('My Three Stooges,' 'The Invisible Artist') of radical changes about to sweep the arts.
'Hooking Up' is a chronicle of the here and now, but for dessert it closes with the legendary, never-before-reprinted pieces about The New Yorker and its famously reclusive editor, William Shawn, which early on helped win Wolfe his matchless reputation for reportorial bravura, dead-on insight, and stylistic legerdemain -- qualities everywhere evident in this gloriously no-holds-barred, un-put-downable new book..."
