Wolfe on New Style Journalism and Pop Culture
Alan Fitzgerald reviews Tom Wolfe’s Esquire pieces on Hot Rod culture and the New York scene. Wolfe’s “First Teenage Tycoon” and profiles of Baby Jane Holzer and Murray the K are critiqued as flamboyant, overblown satire that reveals hollow methods. The piece links Wolfe to a broader shift toward a youth driven, money soaked culture.
