Tom Wolfe, the internationally acclaimed author of The Bonfire of the Vanities and A Man in Full, returns to the origins of his success with his first collection of essays and short fiction for twenty years. Hooking Up ranges all over the modern world, from an update on the manners; and mores of teenagers to an investigation of the fundamental ways in which our lives and self-perceptions have changed, living as we do in a modern world of genetic engineering and neuroscience. There are pieces on 'sting T.V.' as well as forecasts of radical changes sweeping the world of the arts. A glorious, questioning, memorable book, Hooking Up shows Tom Wolfe at the very top of his form.
