Tom Wolfe
The Purple Decades
London: Jonathan Cape, 1983.
First UK printing.
A must-have sampling of the first nine books published by Wolfe, before he got into hefty novels.
From The kandy-colored tangerine-flake streamline baby (1965) to From Bauhaus to Our House (1981).
His influence on journalism and even the language has been immense, and he is often very acerbic about the decline and fall of America.
Book and jacket are in good condition, with minor yellowing to jacket spine.
Hardcover.
