Tom Wolfe, jeden zo zakladateľov hnutia Novinárskeho realizmu 60. a 70. rokov, sa ponoril do vnútorného fungovania mysle a skúmal nevedomé rozhodnutia, ktoré formujú ľudské životy. Jeho štýl, charakterizovaný voľnými asociáciami a onomatopojmiou, sa stal ochrannou známkou Novinárskeho realizmu. Wolfe sa zameral na zvláštnosti ľudského správania a jazyka a na otázky sociálneho postavenia, čím zanechal neporovnateľný odkaz v americkom literárnom kánone. Je tiež známy ako popularizátor termínu "fiction-absolute".
Širokouhlý panoramatický záber zo života súčasného New Yorku, onoho Babylonu našich čias. Dráma pohnutých ľudských osudov, ktorá postupne prechádza do frašky. Tom Wolfe si vie podmaniť čitateľa... je vynikajúcim rozprávačom a vie rozosmiať. Vybraný faktografický materiál transponoval do roviny typizácie a umeleckého zovšeobecnenia. Jeho rozprávanie sa však odvíja v takom tempe, že čitateľ má chvíľami pocit, akoby padal z výšky.

One of the most essential works on the 1960s counterculture, Tom Wolfe's The Electric Kool-Aid Test is the seminal work on the hippie culture, a report on what it was like to follow along with Ken Kesey and the Merry Pranksters as they launched out on the "Transcontinental Bus Tour" from the West Coast to New York, all the while introducing acid (then legal) to hundreds of like-minded folks, staging impromptu jam sessions, dodging the Feds, and meeting some of the most revolutionary figures of the day.
A stirring collection of never-before-seen photographs of the Kennedy family presented in this seminal work by JFK's personal photographer, Jacques Lowe.
A smooth-sailing bike trip to the store is abruptly stopped in its tracks. A bewildering situation requires swift investigation. What a predicament! It's not all fun and games, as one determined youngster with an uncalculated plan, attempts to match wits with a four-legged culprit named Joe. Oh no, Joe! is a fast-paced and fun time, read in rhyme. A celebration of unconditional love between a boy and his dog... because kind little people grow up to be kind big people.
