When you think about the 1980s, do people and things like MTV, Madonna, Prince and Members Only jackets come to mind? While these were all staples of the decade, they aren’t what host Deirdre Pippins is most enamored by. Instead, she is most drawn to 1980s literature, particularly novels by Tom Wolfe, who has been lauded as a literary legend of the 20th century.
Tune into this week’s episode of Bookaholic to learn more about Deirdre’s favorite Tom Wolfe novel Bonfire of the Vanities and its relevance to current day life in the US. And if you are interested in checking out the novel for yourself, you can purchase it on the True Bookaholic Bookstore, linked below.
Happy reading!
Quotes
- “Max Headroom, Michael Jackson, Prince, Madonna, Members Only jackets, and MTV – these are just a few of the people and things you think of when someone mentions the 1980s. But if you do a little recirc at the library, you will find the author Tom Wolfe on the shelves.” (0:15-0:37)
- “Masters of the Universe was used to describe ambitious white men, who were Wall Street traders racking up millions of dollars a year in salary and bonuses.” (1:16-1:27)
- “With all that’s happened in the last year with racism, class and politics, The Bonfire of the Vanities promises to be a prequel to life now.” (1:57-2:05)
