Author Tom Wolfe: Can you recommend a good writing for a beginner?

Question

I'd like to experience reading some Tom Wolfe. What do you recommend?

Answer 1

Bonfire of the Vanities about New York in the 1980s or The Elecrtic Acid Kool-Aid Test about the 60s and Ken Kesey's travels with his "merry pranksters" are both great books that will have you coming back for more.  

Answer 2

There is a book by him titled "Purple Decades" that has lots of his short stories. He has some long books as well but they're really good like "A Man in Full" and "I Am Charlotte Simmons"
