A Man in Full. Signed by Tom Wolfe. First Trade Edition, First Printing. Farrar, Straus, Giroux. New York, 1998.

Tom Wolfe was a dynamic writer with interests as wide as any writer before him. His career ascended in the 1960s with The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and other works that described in engaging detail the lived experiences of the 1960s countercultures. Wolfe quickly became associated with New Journalism, which he helped to define–a style of journalism that utilizes literary narrative techniques. Yet Wolfe also wrote equally brilliant novels. A Man in Full ranks high among them. It is a satirical novel with a wide cast of characters. The story centers on race relations and rumors in Atlanta, capturing that city’s upper class social sphere and its proclivities in sharp detail.

This first trade edition, first printing is signed by Wolfe on the title page. It is in fine condition. In the pictorial boards, fine. Text block fine. In the original dust jacket, fine.
