Its portrait of power (those who have it and those who want it) and the book's dissection of racial tensions simmering below the city's gleaming veneer have only grown more pointed with time. Wolfe is unblinking, lavish, gleeful, and damning in this larger-than-life vision of the '80s, reinforcing his reputation as an unmatched chronicler of the twisted, contradictory, and glamorous abodes of power\u003cbr\u003eand wealth.\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eTom Wolfe\u003c\/b\u003e (1930-2018) was one of the founders of the New Journalism movement and the author of more than a dozen books, including such contemporary classics as \u003ci\u003eThe Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Right Stuff\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eRadical Chic \u0026amp; Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers\u003c\/i\u003e, as well as the novels \u003ci\u003eThe Bonfire of the Vanities\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003e A Man in Full\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003eI Am Charlotte Simmons\u003c\/i\u003e.
