""What Tom Wolfe has done is create an appallingly funny, cool, small, deflative two-scene social drama about America's biggest, hottest, and most perplexing problem--the confrontation between Black Rage and White Guilt."--"Time "magazine

"Wolfe's genius is that he is fair; he puts the Bernstein part in perspective against the background of New York social history. Read it and weep with laughter."--"Houston Post" "A sociological classic . . . At Wolfe's hands the socialites get a roasting they will long remember."--"Saturday Review" "Tom Wolfe understands the human animal like no sociologist around.

One of the finest examples of reporting and social commentary I have read anywhere."--Gay Talese
