A small mark on the front cover otherwise an extremely tight and unmarked copy-" One night in the Bronx a millionaire, Sherman McCoy, and his mistress have an accident. The next day a young Black is in hospital in a coma as McCoy heads for disaster. His humiliation is at the center of a satire on the decaying class, racial and political structure of New York in the 1980s. It's Tom Wolff, this book is EXACTLY applicable to today's environment in the most vivid detail. George Floyd, the wealthy versus the poor, Rodney King, and Breanna Taylor, this really just puts the divide into perspective and lets the reader really see these incidents from multiple perspectives. Compassion can be garnered for its many participants and scorn for those whose existence is predicated on stirring up lies and deception."-Alistair-.

Manoscritto / Collezionismo cartaceo
Two original screenplays for the 1990 film, one being a First Draft (1988), and the other a Second Revised Draft (1989). Brief annotations in manuscript ink on the title page of the second script. Director De Palma's unfortunate box-office flop, based on Tom Wolfe's first novel. Sherman McCoy (Hanks), the "master of the universe," is a shallow Wall Street investor who makes millions while enjoying the good life and the sexual favors of Maria Ruskin (Griffith). One day the two find themselves in the South Bronx, where Maria sees a black youth approaching so, frightened, she guns the engine and runs him over, killing him. The two drive away and decide not to report the accident to the police. Alcoholic journalist Peter Fallow (Willis), anxious for a story, hears about the incident through a local black community activist. Once the story is out, the end is inevitable for Sherman. Set in New York, shot on location there and in California. De Palma would return to independent filmmaking with his next effort, the creepy horror film, "Raising Cain" (1992), starring John Lithgow.
