A Man in Full by Tom Wolfe (Farrar, Straus and Giroux, First Trade Edition, Hardcover)

Tom Wolfe's second novel, following The Bonfire of the Vanities, is a sprawling satire of late-1990s America centred on Atlanta. Charlie Croker, a larger-than-life former college football star turned real-estate tycoon, is sixty and facing ruin as his banks call in hundreds of millions in loans. Meanwhile, across the country in California, Conrad Hensley, a young warehouse worker, loses his job and is swept into a series of misfortunes that lands him in jail, where he stumbles onto the Stoic philosophy of Epictetus. As their stories converge, Wolfe skewers money, race, status, politics and masculinity with his trademark energy and eye for detail. A national bestseller and a finalist for the National Book Award.
