Un'analisi dell'America ossessionata dall'avidità un decennio dopo Il falò delle vanità e alle soglie del millennio, dal maestro cronista della cultura americana Tom Wolfe Charlie Croker, un tempo una leggendaria stella del football universitario, è ora un imprenditore immobiliare di Atlanta di mezza età diventato re del conglomerato. Le sue ambizioni espansionistiche e il suo ego smisurato si sono finalmente scontrati con la realtà. Charlie ha una piantagione di caccia alle quaglie di 28.000 acri, una seconda moglie giovane ed esigente e una torre del centro città semivuota con un carico impressionante di debiti. Wolfe ci mostra l'America contemporanea con tutto il brio, l'arguzia e l'intuizione che lo hanno reso il nostro romanziere più ammirato. "Abbastanza avvincente persino da soddisfare i devoti di Il falò delle vanità...umano e redentivo" - Sunday Times
