The New York Public Library is hosting an exhibit on author/journalist Tom Wolfe.
The “Becoming The Man in the White Suit: The Tom Wolfe Papers at The New York Public Library” exhibit will include almost two dozen works from the author’s collection. The Library acquired the collection for $2.15 million in November 2013.
The show will include: Correspondence from John Glenn with corrections to The Right Stuff; Wolfe’s insights on post-war masculinity and his experience with the culture at NASA and the U.S. Air Force. The show also features a letter he wrote to himself about The Bonfire of the Vanities, as well as a letter from Hunter S. Thompson about his “recently published novel” Fear and Loathing in Las Vegas.
