Tom Wolfe was one of my favorite authors. I AM CHARLOTTE SIMMONS was so close to the reality of present college life that I would recommend it to parents as a “forewarned is forearmed” preparation for what they and their college bound children will be experiencing.
Rest in peace Tom Wolfe.
I have read all his books and certainly enjoyed Charlotte Simmons. Seen her case in real life, repeatedly.
His book Mau Mauing The Flak Catchers and Radical Chic hit home for me when I was young and involved on the periphery of those sorts of folks.
