        In 1973, at a book reading at UPenn, I asked Tom Wolfe how he would label a guy who showed up in diverse settings wearing a white suit and white tie. Wolff said: "Easy. Clearly a representative of the New Pretensions."

        Replying to @WSJ

        I remember reading Bonfire of the Vanities a long time ago. It was a very long book but it was excellently researched. In order to demonstrate the court system Wolfe deviated from the story to describe another court case entirely, right in the middle of the book. It was brave.

        "Bonfire of the Vanities" is a classic and captured those times perfectly. One of the great social observers of our day.
