Bonfire of the Vanities

I recently read the book Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe. Mr. Wolfe holds a doctorate in American Studies from Yale University and is the author of many non fiction books such as The Right Stuff, In Our Time, and Clutter and Vine. Bonfire of the Vanities was his first fiction work. This book was published by Bantam Books Inc. and was copyrighted in 1987. I believe the theme of this book to be true …

…by her husband and everyone around her. However, in A Cry in the Night a young man who turns out to be her one true friend comes through and helps her out of a difficult time. Sherman is left with only himself to rely on. I found this book to be very entertaining and well worth the time to read. It is a good hard look at reality that I feel everyone can benefit from.
