Forgiving Tom Wolfe
Four decades after publication of The Pump House Gang , the work is still a point contention for member of the local surf culture whose lives it cronicled.
(page 1 of 2) ON A LATE AFTERNOON in the winter of 1953—before construction starts on Mission Bay High School—four boys race along Grand Avenue in Pacific Beach. The car is a ’53 Studebaker, though it is unrecognizable. Grand Avenue is still a dirt road, and the rainy season has turned it to mush. After a swerving, fishtailing, tire-spinning run, the boys climb out of the car, beers in hand. Except for patches of clear windshield under the wipers, the car is covered with mud. One of the boys, a 15-year-old called Mac, is a middle-distance runner on La Jolla High School’s track team. He is well-liked in sports and drinking circles, and hints of his Scottish pedigree have emerged through an uncommon ability to absorb and handle alcohol. The middle-distance runner’s father, the desendant of a family heavy in doctors, is an orthopedic surgeon who served in the Navy in World War II. Those cheery-eyed boys climbing out of the Studebaker bear the memories and peripheral psychological trauma of that gruesome war and its 20 million dead. Unlike the rest of them, Mac bears physical evidence of the conflict. As a 4-year-old, he was wounded in the bombing runs at Pearl Harbor. Shortly after the attack, his family moved to La Jolla’s Camp Callan, a Navy installation that would transmogrify—in the early 1960s—into an outpost of the University of California system.

Tom Wolfe: American Iconoclast
by Marsha Familaro Enright
Tom Wolfe is one of the most original, honest, and unfettered contemporary observers of American culture alive today. Originator of “the New Journalism” in the ’60s, Wolfe’s fiction-like forays in reporting have kept him at the leading edge of insight for decades. And he’s hilarious. He skewers pomp, pretension, and preening evenhandedly—and his fellow members of the press are often well roasted. His originality with language is phenomenal, his psychological insight and depth remarkable. Best of all, his entirely first-hand view of the world always shines through.
Just as Ayn Rand closely observed and essentialized American culture during the first half of the twentieth century, Wolfe studied our culture “in the field” during the second half and beyond. He ranged all over the country: geographically, culturally, artistically, and intellectually. His books and essays offer the reader vivid accounts about the full range of the “American carnival,” from the outrageous car culture of Southern California ( The Kandy-Kolored, Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby

Tom Wolfe Gets Another Day In The Sun
For the life of me, I can't really figure out what Tom Wolfe meant when he said that the Blackstone IPO represented the end of capitalism as we know it . I doubt that he even knew what he meant, but he's a writer, so he's allowed to just put stuff out there and let others interpret it . The re-emergence of Tom Wolfe is interesting in itself. For awhile there, he had to write about the sex lives of college freshmen. Seems like he's back in his element, which is good. I will say that I'm floored by the amount of attention being paid to private equity these days, especially since it's not something that most retail investors have any connection to, unlike dot-com stocks during the bubble. I've voiced my skepticism about Blackstone, but the stock could benefit from the shortage of publicly-traded private equity options at least for awhile. While I tend to agree with Paul Kedrosky that we overuse the word bubble , and that our narrative biases lead us into forcing current events into the mold of history, I also think that an understanding of history can be useful. Meanwhile, Eric Falkenstein talks

The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test
The bus
is a superprank. A 1939 International Harvester school bus. The guy that sold it used it for his eleven children. It has bunks, benches, a sink, a refrigerator, shelves, etc. When Ken Kesey buys it for a trip to New York, for the publication of his novel Sometimes a Great Notion , he signs the contract "Intreprid Trips, Inc." The bus becomes the most outrageous vehicle America has ever seen: shocking painting-job, a hole in the roof to climb up there and sit on the top of the bus, a broadcasting system inside, tapes, microphones, a set of drums, electric guitar, electric bass, huge speakers on top, microphones outside which pick up sounds from the road and broadcast them inside, etc. Weird bus and weird load! The destination sign in the front says, "Furthur" The bus is driven by Ken Kesey himself or by Neil Cassady, whom Kesey met in San Francisco a few years before. There he is: Neil Cassady! Emerging from On the Road like a myth that has become reality. On acid most of the time. Driving like a maniac. Flipping a sledge hammer during breaks. And the load: "The Merry Pranksters," "Intreprid Travelers," Day-glo crazies (the colour on their bodies), flag people (wrapped in stars and stripes), acid-heads (the drug), hippies (a word not used at that time), Hell’s Angels (at least one of them), drop-outs—people highly elusive of any description!!! And their names and nicknames: Mountain Girl, Black Maria, Doris Delay, Brother John, Kesey’s brother Chuck, Babbs, Hassler, ... and

Wolfe begins, therefore, on San Francisco's Broadway, a section of which contains the city's "skin-show nightclubs, boho caves . . . and 'colorful' bars with names like Burp Hollow. There is one tree on Broadway. It is about three inches in diameter, about 12 feet tall, and has 342 minute leaves on it and a tin anti-urine sleeve around the bottom. Carol Doda was standing under this tree as if it could hide her" while someone tries to get her a cab." She cannot stand out in the street and signal one herself, because "there is no telling what would happen or how many flaming nutballs would stop or who the hell knows what? because of 'them,' them being her breasts" (83). The piano settles down, Carol Doda is on top of it dancing the Swim, the jerk, the Frug, the Jump, the Spasm, the her face is up above there like a pure white mask, an Easter Egg yellow explosion of hair on top, a pair of eyes with lashes like two sets of military shoe brushes, ice-white lips, two arms writhing around, her whole ilial complex writhing around, but all just a sort of pinwheel rosette for them. Carol Doda's breasts are up there the way one imagines Electra's should have been, two incredible mammiform protrusions, no mere pliable mass of feminine tissues and fats there but living arterial sculpture viscera spigot great blown-up aureate morning-glories.

Tom Wolfe
Tom Wolfe (born March 2, 1931) is an American author and journalist. Born in Richmond, Virginia, Wolfe took his first newspaper job in 1956 and eventually worked for the Washington Post and the New York Herald Tribune among others. While there he experimented with using fictional techniques in feature stories. During the New York newspaper strike, he approached Esquire Magazine about an article on the hot rod and custom car culture of Southern California. He struggled with writing the article and editor Byron Dobell suggested that Wolfe send his notes to him so they could work together on the article. Wolfe sat down and wrote Dobell a letter saying everything he wanted to say about the subject, ignoring all conventions of journalism. Dobell removed the salutation "Dear Byron" from the top of the letter and published the notes as the article. This was the birth of the New Journalism, in which some journalists and essayists experimented with all sorts of literary techniques, including free association, italics, and exclamation marks (even multiple exclamation marks) within the construct of a non-fictional article or essay.

Tom Wolfe On His New Book and His Decision to Leave FSG
by Leon Neyfakh January 2, 2008 Getty Images As reported earlier , Tom Wolfe is working on a new novel set in Miami called Back to Blood , which will be published in 2009 by Little, Brown. According to a press release, the book would deal with "class, family, wealth, race, crime, sex, corruption, and ambition." The overriding theme, though, based on an interview with Mr. Wolfe, will be Miami's immigrant population, which he said includes Cubans, Nicaraguans, Haitians, and Russians. "My original subject was just immigration, not from any policy point of view, but just curiosity about what the life of recent immigrants is like, and how they feel when they come up against American culture or Americans in general," Mr. Wolfe said. "As far as I can tell there is no other city in the world [besides Miami] where more than half the population are people who arrived here within the last 50 years." Mr. Wolfe said he'd made several trips to Miami already in preparation for the book, and that he intends to make several more.
