Quatri�me de couverture :

'I love Tom Wolfe... Whenever some big bizarro thing happens...I want the man in the white suit to do his usual exhaustive reporting, turn the labels inside out and hypocrites upside down...and tell me what's what in one of those jittering, dazzling riffs of his'

New York Times

In Hooking Up, Tom Wolfe ranges from coast to coast, observing the 'the lurid carnival actually taking place in the mightiest country on earth in the year 2000' - everything from teenage sexual manners to how genetics and neuroscience are changing the way we regard ourselves. Also included in this collection are some of his most classic and enduring pieces of journalism, and 'Ambush at Fort Bragg', his fiercely satirical novella about sting TV.

Funny, often savagely so, hard-hitting, wise, Wolfe remains a unique master chronicler of America, and its future.

Revue de presse :

"I love Tom Wolfe... Whenever some big bizarro thing happens...I want the man in the white suit to do his usual exhaustive reporting, turn the labels inside out and hypocrites upside down...and tell me what's what in one of those jittering, dazzling riffs of his" (Margaret Dowd New York Times Book Review)

"Delicious" (Entertainment Weekly)

"The finest essayist-cum-novelist-cum-reporter of our era, Wolfe combines lively writing and endless energy with an astonishingly astute, ever-curious eye" (Forbes Magazine)

"A great introduction to Wolfe the nonfiction stylist" (Newsweek)
