The Painted Word New York Times I noticed something! Yet another clam-broth-colored current had begun to roll over me, as warm and predictable as the Gulf Stream ... a review, it was, by the jerked alert by the following: Now, you may say, My God, man! You woke up over that ? You forsook your blissful coma over a mere swell in the sea of words? But I knew what I was looking at. I realized that without making the slightest effort I had come upon one of those utterances in search of which psychoanalysts and State Department monitors of the Moscow or Belgrade press are willing to endure a lifetime of tedium: namely, the seemingly innocuous obiter dicta , the words in passing, that give the game away. What I saw before me was the critic-in-chief of The New York Times crucial crucial Then and there I experienced a flash known as the Aha! phenomenon, and the buried life of contemporary art was revealed to me for the first time. The fogs lifted! The clouds passed! The motes, scales, conjunctival bloodshots, and Murine agonies fell away! it . . for

News Sports Entertainment Radio ... My Region Story Tools: E-MAIL PRINT S M ... SEND YOUR FEEDBACK Bad sex was ironic: Tom Wolfe CBC Arts Author Tom Wolfe says the sex scenes in his novel I am Charlotte Simmons – which won him a prize for bad writing – were meant to be ironic. Last week, Wolfe was awarded the Literary Review's annual Bad Sex award. RELATED STORY: IN BRIEF: Tom Wolfe wins bad-sex prize; Arnold does a cameo; plus more Tom Wolfe (AP photo) The purpose of the award is to "draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel." In giving the prize, the judges said the descriptions of sex in Wolfe's book are ghastly, inept and unrealistic. But Wolfe says he was very deliberate when he wrote the scenes. "Slither slither slither slither went the tongue," starts one, which describes the ing©nue protagonist's first sexual encounter. "But the hand, that was what she tried to concentrate on, the hand, since it has the entire terrain of her torso to explore and not just the otorhinolaryngological caverns – oh God, it was not just at the border where the flesh of the breast joins the pectoral sheath of the chest – no, the hand was cupping her entire right – Now!" Wolfe defended his writing in an interview on Monday, saying he used words like "otorhinolaryngological" – which refers to the ears, nose and throat – on purpose, so the sex scenes would not be erotic.

28. Book Review - The Electric Acid Kool-Aid Test The Electric KoolAid Acid Test. by tom wolfe tom wolfe s literary accomplishments include Bonfire of the Vanities and The Right Stuff http://www.mrsharkey.com/busbarn/acidtest/acidtest.htm

Sharkey's Book Review of... The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test by Tom Wolfe The first time I read this book, around about 1972 or '73, I found it to be an amazing chronicle of the 1960's 'hippie movement' that effectively tied together all of the cultural icons of that era, Haight-Ashbury, LSD, Grass, Ginsburg, Kerouac, Leary, The Grateful Dead, Hell's Angels and even a bit of the Beatles. What I remembered most was the amazing bus trip across the USA that Ken Kesey's day glow-colored Merry Pranksters took in 1964. So, naturally, I decided to read it again, this time in order to post a review on the web site. Uh-huh, right. This book is about Sooooo much more than the bus trip. For one thing, after living so long in Kesey's home territory, it turns out that I now know many of the players in the book's story, and others who weren't at all familiar have take their place in the history of the life and times of the 1960's. Oh yeah, they're talking about Chuck's Health Food and Pool store..... Of course, the book is also about the day-glow crazies and the bus, but it is also about that 'bus energy' that I mention in the F.Q.A. page. The pranksters easily got themselves onto some impossibly foolish and dangerous predicaments, but somehow always managed to always just skate around all of the holes in the ice, seemingly by magic.

"The opportunity to work with the American master Tom Wolfe is the kind of thrill and challenge that people entering book publishing dream of," Little, Brown publisher Michael Pietsch said Wednesday. "Tom Wolfe is one of the great writers of his generation and he has been one of FSG's most significant and best-loved authors," Farrar publisher Jonathan Galassi said. "We are sorry to part company and wish him all happiness and success in this next phase of his work." One of the original "New Journalists" of the 1960s, the 76-year-old Wolfe is known for such best-selling novels as "The Bonfire of the Vanities" and "A Man in Full," and for such nonfiction classics as "The Right Stuff" and "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test." His new novel, "Back to Blood," will be a "Bonfire"-like tour of Miami, taking on "class, family, wealth, race, crime, sex, corruption and ambition."

As his text, he chose the maverick Jesuit scientist and philosopher Pierre Teilhard de Chardin, who fifty years ago prophesied that radio, television, and computers would create a "noösphere," an electronic membrane covering the earth and wiring all humanity together in a single nervous system. Geographic locations, national boundaries, the old notions of markets and political processesall would become irrelevant. With the Internet spreading over the globe at an astonishing pace, said Rossetto, that marvelous modem-driven moment is almost at hand.

Wolfe told Page Six he sold the option for the book in the early '70s for just $75,000. "I'm really interested to see what they do," he said. "The biggest problem will be the LSD trips that can be done so much better in print than on film."

35. The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test By Tom Wolfe This is a great book by tom wolfe first published in 1967. It tracks the story of Ken Kesey following the eye of the storm so to speak as it leaves the Beat http://www1.dragonet.es/users/markbcki/wolfe.htm

THE ELECTRIC KOOL-AID ACID TEST by Tom Wolfe Black Swan, 1995. ISBN 0-552-99366-2 This is a great book by Tom Wolfe first published in 1967. It tracks the story of Ken Kesey following the eye of the storm so to speak as it leaves the Beat Generation, stops by the Perry Lane bohemians and then crashes onto California at full force with the hippies, LSD and psychedelia. Kesey was voted "boy most likely to succeed" at his high school in Oregon and went on to a creative writing fellowship at Stanford University. Perry Lane was next door and he was welcomed as a kind of rough diamond writer from the wilds. Wolfe really takes the story from there, outlining the first culture clash as Jack London turns out to be Captain Marvel- not quite what the intellectuals had in mind. In fact Perry Lane was itself to physically disappear a little later as the bulldozers moved in and the journalists who arrived to meet the disgruntled academics instead found Kesey and the new arrivals on mattresses up a tree offering round a LSD chilli. Visitors at this point included Neal Cassady, Larry McMurtry and Jerry Garcia among others and Wolfe has carefully tracked down most of them to help build the zeitgeist.

36. Magazine Writing: The Curse Of Tom Wolfe In 1973 tom wolfe paused to draw breath long enough to look back on what had happened to journalism and to him in the previous ten years and wrote a lengthy http://cjrarchives.org/issues/2002/6/mag-shapiro.asp

CJR Home Issues Issue 6: November/December MAGAZINE WRITING The Curse of Tom Wolfe What went wrong for the magazine story BY MICHAEL SHAPIRO F A year ago I received a packet of a dozen stories from which I was to pick three, to be sent on to the second round of reading for the National Magazine Award for feature writing. I assumed this would be difficult. The reading, however, went too quickly. Over the years I had heard the same complaint from others, and not just from my over-forty crowd: magazines were a bore. The collective reaction to those pieces reinforced what I had come to see as a disquieting trend in the magazine trade: a dullness, a numbing predictability, a growing sense of stories crafted less with a desire for greatness than with an eye for avoiding mistakes. Over the years I had heard the same complaint from others, and not just from my over-forty crowd: magazines were a bore. At the end of the day, at the grown-up version of "story time," people found themselves reaching not for a magazine, but for a book. The reaction was more one of disappointment than anger, as is often the case when change occurs so gradually that it is difficult to recall a particular moment when things began to shift. Magazines still hew to what might be called the Playboy Principle: you will buy this magazine for the nudie pictures, but you will discover wise and interesting things here, too.

skip to main skip to sidebar If I Ran the Zoo Politics, movies, politics, backpacking, politics, despair at the abject stupidity of the press, and more politics Friday, January 11, 2008 Not-Much Shorter Jonah: "Tom Wolfe Likes It!" Two of the recurring themes at Jonah Goldberg's Liberal Fascism blog are that (I paraphrase) none of the liberal critics of the book have actually read it; and rather than engage its arguments, liberal critics dismiss the credentials of the author. These, of course, are demonstrably untrueespecially the former, as more and more folks on the left make some attempt to engage a book that doesn't merit the effort. Yesterday evening, I got annoyed enough at the disingenuousness of this to e-mail Jonah for the purpose of calling him on it. To his credit, he responded (and he does deserve credit for that; I could name a fair number of big liberal bloggers who don't bother to respond to e-mail from strangers). Hence, the following exchange. Me: This constant refrain of 'liberal critics haven't read the book' is vulnerable on (at least) two fronts. First, you highlight the liberals who say they haven't read it but neglect to mention the ones who have. I won't even include Sadly, No!, hilarious and apt as their dissection was, because I'm sure you don't consider their approach 'serious'; but what about Spencer Ackerman Secondly, when a critic is more familiar with the underlying history and philosophy than you are (as seems to be the case with John Holbo), and it's clear to him that they don't support *any* argument remotely like the one you advance, then what does it matter that he hasn't read

But not as many as might be expected. Mr. Wolfe surveyed the hedge fund culture and made his best attempt to answer the question, “who are these people ?” His 7,400-word conclusion seems to be: Most of them are jerks. Not the genteel kinds of status and power of yesteryear. Not the polite cocktail parties, or the charity functions or the quietly struck, backroom deals. Rather, the kind of status that allows a hedge fund manager feel he can brutally scream at his daughter’s hockey coach during a game and the kind of power that allows him to sweep away the executives of a profitable, well-run corporation with the stroke of a pen and the squeeze of a fist.
