I Am Charlotte Simmons by Tom Wolfe
A scandalous exploration of elite undergraduate life from the author of The Bonfire of the Vanities Dupont University: the Olympian halls of learning housing the cream of America's youth, the roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns suffused with tradition...
A firecracker of a novel.. A pyrotechnic delight just as dazzling as The Bonfire of the Vanities * Sunday Express *
Brilliant... Not just a rollicking comedy of campus misbehaviour but a blistering indictment of contemporary standards * Mail on Sunday *
Exaggerates and deflates the pretensions of America's future ruling class in hilarious style * The Economist *
These are Wolfe's most memorable characters and this is his best book yet -- David Isaacson * Word Magazine *
Exuberant, lovingly crafted grotesquery * Daily Telegraph *
