«La hoguera de las vanidades» is Tom Wolfe's satirical novel, published by Salvat in hardback (654 pages, in Spanish).
Sherman McCoy, a successful Wall Street bond trader, sees his life fall apart after an accident in the Bronx. Wolfe ironically portrays 1980s New York: the world of high finance, the tabloid press, the courts and racial tensions, in a satire on ambition and corruption.
Originally published in 1987 as The Bonfire of the Vanities, this edition belongs to the La mejor narrativa collection.
For readers of satirical fiction and contemporary classics, interested in the social portrait and tensions of 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.
