He used to joke that my dad was his first editor. They were both writers for the St Christopher’s School Pine Needle newspaper. RIP, Tom.

Mr. Wolfe was one of the defining voices of our generation, having given us, “The Right Stuff,” and “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test.” We will miss his voice.

As a J-School senior - this first edition of Wolfe’s The New Journalism was required reading - for 45 years always in my library. Time for a re-read. - From Wolfe’s intro: “God knows I didn’t have anything new in mind, much less literary, when I took my first newspaper job.”pic.twitter.com/QfMQqFCf7K

Now that man was a New Yorker. Not the magazine, The whole damn city. People like him wandering the streets is why you build cities in the first place.

Is his tie tucked in? Was that a thing?

It was a thing at times. I thought the 60’s.

My 1st Tom Wolfe read was in college - The Electric Acid Kool-Aid Test. I was hooked ever since that late 1960s read. Rest in the peace only you could dream, Tom Wolfe!
