      1. Tom Wolfe is an interesting example of the benefits of reading your opponents. He was politically conservative but very much shaped by the proletarian & socialist novels of 1930s.

      2. Tom Wolfe was actually Dr. Wolfe. In 1956 he did a doctorate in American Studies at Yale. Thesis titled: The League of American Writers: Communist Organizational Activity Among American Writers, 1929–1942

      3. Wolfe like proletarian novels for their grit & grounding in experience, as against what he say as hoity-toity language games of modernism.

      4. One way to understand Wolfe was that he was trying to revive the tradition -- running from Defoe to Dreiser -- of journalistic literature. More thoughts here: https://newrepublic.com/minutes/148423/tom-wolfe-reunited-journalism-literature …

          5. I'm not a fan of Wolfe's novels, which are ... what's the word I'm looking for .... cringe-inducing. Especially when he tried to adopt voice of a co-ed. But he really did something special with journalism.

          So he became a chronicler of the WASP overcaste? Overthinking is real.

          He benefitted from working at the New York Herald Tribune in its final, glorious autumn, when the newspaper combined its long tradition of solid writing with bold experiments aimed at saving the newspaper. (Which ultimately failed but left a lasting mark on journalism.)

          Has anyone written or will they on how Don Cherry--our right hockey populist tv personality was influenced by Wolf's self sense of dramatic self-presentation?! May a thousand essays bloom.
