«La hoguera de las vanidades» is the novel by Tom Wolfe, published by Editorial Anagrama in paperback (744 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Sherman McCoy, a Wall Street broker whose nighttime detour through the Bronx, while accompanying his lover, drags him into a judicial and media whirlwind. Wolfe ironically depicts a 1980s New York marked by elite hypocrisy, journalistic sensationalism, and racial tensions.
Translation by Enrique Murillo. Volume 16 of Anagrama's Compactos 50 collection. Original in English: «The Bonfire of the Vanities».
Recommended for readers of literary fiction and social satire with an interest in 1980s New York.
Thomas Kennerly Wolfe Jr. was an American author and journalist widely known for his association with New Journalism, a style of news writing and journalism developed in the 1960s and 1970s that incorporated literary techniques. Much of Wolfe's work is satirical and centers on the counterculture of the 1960s and issues related to class, social status, and the lifestyles of the economic and intellectual elites of New York City.
