Review Quotes
"A big, bitter, funny, craftily plotted book that grabs you by the lapels and won't let you go." --The New York Times Book Review
"The Bonfire of the Vanities chronicles the collapse of a Wall Street bond trader, and examines a world in which fortunes are made and lost at the blink of a computer screen. . . . Wolfe's subject couldn't be more topical: New Yorkers' relentless pursuit and flaunting of wealth, and the fury it evokes in the have-nots." --USA Today "A superb human comedy and the first novel ever to get contemporary New York, in all its arrogance and shame and heterogeneity and insularity, exactly right." --The Washington Post Book World "A page-turner . . . Brilliant high comedy." --The New Republic "More than a tour de force." --TimeAbout the Author
