Tom Wolfe

Jonathan Cape

720 pages, Rs 799

Into the feverous landscape of the city of Miami, Wolfe introduces: a Cuban mayor; a black police chief; an ambitious young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; a psychiatrist who specialises in sex addiction and his Latina nurse by day, mistress by night; a billionaire porn addict; crack dealers in the ‘hoods’; ‘de-skilled’ conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair; ‘spectators’ at the annual Biscayne Bay regatta; and a nest of shady Russians. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Wolfe’s previous bestselling novels.
