Topics

Any point in including a dismbig. message directing to the hip fin-de-siecle journalist-novelist Tom Wolfe? Ellsworth 15:49, 2 May 2004 (UTC)[reply]

No point in discussing that at all! Thomas Wolfe should not be confused with pedestrian pop-icon Tom Wolfe, the James Michener of the baby boomers, who thinks wearing a Colonel Sanders/ice cream salesman suit all the time-a stereotype of the pathetic post Civil War Southern gentry-is some kind of cachet cool. He embodies exactly the type of respectable polite middle class society Thomas Wolfe had nothing but contempt for.

Absolutely, Ellsworth. Since no one has yet done it in 7 months, I'll Be bold and do it. I'm curious about the quote "You can't go home again." I think I've actually seen newspaper articles that seem to attribute that to Tom Wolfe, which is exactly why I cam here. So I will try to investigate and later include that fact in both articles. I also want to include Tom Wolfe in List of notable eccentrics, since I remember him as the guy in the white suit. Spalding 12:06, Nov 13, 2004 (UTC)
