A little foxing on the edge. Also, a very slight moisture stain on the edge (see pics)
First Edition/First Impression.
Comes in Mylar covered good, unclipped dust jacket.
Tom Wolfe's biting satire of the excess and greed that typified the upper echelons of 80's New York.
Wolfe intended his novel to capture the essence of New York City in the 1980s.
The story is a drama about ambition, racism, social class, politics, and greed in 1980s New York City, and centers on three main characters: WASP bond trader Sherman McCoy, Jewish assistant district attorney Larry Kramer, and British expatriate journalist Peter Fallow.
Wolfe's first novel, Bonfire of the Vanities is considered a bitter, cynical masterpiece.
