Early life of Tom Wolfe:
Thomas Kennery Wolff Jr. was an American writer and journalist, widely known with New Journalism, in the 1960s and 1970s, a style of news writing and journalism developed in which literary techniques were involved.
Wolff began his career as a regional newspaper reporter in the 1950s, in the 1960s, such as the Electric Cool-Ed Acid Test (a very experimental account of Ken Casey and Mile Randcasters) After the publication of the best-selling books, national prominence was achieved and two collections of articles and essays, radical chic and soft-mouthed the flak catches and the candy-colored te Jerin-Flake Streamline Baby.
In 1979, he published the influential book The Right Stuff about the Mercury seven astronauts, which was made in 1983 in the film of the same name directed by Philip Kaufman.
His first novel, The Bonfire of the Vanities, published in 1987, was mixed with critical acclaim and also became a commercial success. It was adapted as a major motion picture of the same name directed by Brian de Palma. After college, Wolf stepped into a decade-long career as a newspaper reporter with Springfield Union and then Washington Post in Massachusetts.
There he earned the Washington Newsletter Guild Award for foreign news reporting for coverage of the Cuban revolution in 1961. Like many ambitious young journalists, Wolff wanted to test himself in New York. In 1962, he signed with The New York Herald Tribune and wrote with Jimmy Breslin for the Sunday supplement of the paper, which was later published as New York Magazine.
During the 1962 New York newspaper strike, Tom Wolfe proposed an article on the Southern California hot-rod culture for Esquire magazine. He struggled with angles and finally sent a letter explaining his thoughts to his editor, distributing traditional journalism conferences and describing the entire scene in a personal voice.
The editors were so impressed that they lifted the greeting of the letter and published it in totality. From this, Wolff developed his writing style, which became known as "New Journalism". In this style, the authors experimented with various literary techniques, combining journalistic accuracy with the eyes of a novelist for details.
Inspired by the desire to revive the social reality in the literature - as he had expressed in a very public declaration published in Harper in 1989 - Wolff turned into fiction. His first two novels were The Bonfire of the Vanities (1987; 1990), a huge novel about urban greed and corruption, and A Man in Full (1998), a colorful portrayal of contemporary Atlanta.
Wolff's hooking up (2000) is a collection of fiction and essays, which has already been published except for "My Three Stogus," except for a repetitive distraction about John Updike, Norman Mailer and John Irving, all of which Man are important for these flowers.
Many other books before Wolf's first novel, The Bonfire of the Vanities, were published in 1987, which were first sorted in Rolling Stone magazine. His novel A Man in Full was published in 1998. The highest-grossing film, Ben Torf, by an authors was paid $ 5 million for Van Wiefer's Tom Wright.
