After leaving us with a lot of the right stuff, he's riding his kandy-kolored tangerine-flake streamline baby from Bauhaus to our house, and on to the electric kool-aid acid test in the sky.

That guy could tell a story. Right Stuff & Bonfire. Did he coin the phrase "masters of the universe " which so aptly captured the self-congratulatory smugness of wealthy Wall Street men? Love his books and have a sudden urge to read them again.

RIP Mr Wolfe, I much liked how hi writing in "Bonfire of the Vanities"...which I decided to tackle after reading
@wolfofwallst's book & while searching notes about JB's book, he claimed to use a lot of Wolfe's literary prose/style. That led me to BotVs, def did not regret it.Thanks. Twitter will use this to make your timeline better. UndoUndo

If you’re lucky, you get 50 great years; with twenty up front and approximately 20 added at the end.

R.I.P. Tom Wolf.... My first book that I read of yours was of course "Electric Kool Aid Acid Test" along with Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters.

Undoubtedly some still consider themselves Masters of the Universe, alas, no one is of Father Time.

He was asked once why he wore a white suit. He said he wore it to piss people off.
