Книга: Tom Wolfe «BACK TO BLOOD»

BACK TO BLOOD

A big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now. As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay-with our hero, officer Nestor Camacho, on board-Tom Wolfe is off and running headlong into the only city in the world where people from a different country with a different language and a different culture have taken over at the ballot box. This melting pot is full of hard cases who just won't melt, damn it: a Cuban mayor; a black police chief; a hot young reporter and a timid editor of the Miami Herald, both WASPs who went to Yale; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist who keeps his lovely Latina nurse, Magdalena, in his bed and his star patient, a porn-addicted billionaire, on a string; a status-addled Haitian professor who thinks he's really French and wants his pale-skinned daughter to "pass" and his Creole-spouting son to be quiet. Then there are the clueless collectors who "See it! Like it! Buy it!," spending tens...

Thomas Kennerly Wolfe, Jr. (born March 2, 1931 in Richmond, Virginia), known as Tom Wolfe, is a best-selling American author and journalist. He is one of the founders of the New Journalism movement of the 1960s and 1970s.

Biography

Wolfe was born in Richmond, Virginia to Thomas Kennerly Wolfe, Sr. and Helen Hughes Wolfe. His father had a Ph.D. from Cornell University and was a professor of agronomy at Virginia Tech. He also owned two farms and was the director of a successful farmer's cooperative. Wolfe Sr.'s success as a businessman afforded the family a genteel lifestyle. Wolfe Sr. also found time to pursue work as an author and journalist. He edited a farming journal, "The Southern Planter", and published books on similar topics. It was Wolfe's mother, however, who introduced him to the arts. She enrolled her son in tap dancing and ballet, taught him to sketch and read to him regularly. By the age of 9, Wolfe had started writing. Not yet a teenager, Wolfe attempted to write a biography of Napoleon, and wrote and illustrated a life of Mozart. Wolfe has a sister who is five years younger. [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=5-6]

Education

Wolfe was student council president, editor of the school newspaper and a star Lacrosse player at St. Christopher's School, an all-boys school in Richmond, Virginia.

Upon graduation in 1947 he turned down admission at Princeton University to attend Washington and Lee University, then an all-male school. Wolfe majored in English, and practiced his writing outside the classroom as well. He was the sports editor of the college newspaper and helped found a literary magazine, "Shenandoah". Of particular influence was his professor Marshall Fishwick, an American Studies professor educated at Yale. More in the tradition of anthropologists than literary scholars, Fishwick taught his classes to look at the whole of a culture, even those elements considered profane. The very title of Wolfe's undergraduate thesis, "A Zoo Full of Zebras: Anti-Intellectualism in America," evinced his fondness for words and aspirations toward cultural criticism. Wolfe graduated "cum laude" in 1951.

Wolfe had continued playing baseball as a pitcher and had begun to play semi-professionally while still in college. In 1952 he earned a tryout with the New York Giants, but was cut after three days, which Wolfe blamed on his inability to throw good fastballs. Wolfe abandoned baseball, and instead followed the example of his professor Marshall Fishwick, by enrolling in Yale University's American Studies doctoral program. His Ph.D. thesis was entitled "The League of American Writers: Communist Organizational Activity Among American Writers, 1929-1942." [Available on microform from the Yale University Libraries, [http://orbis.library.yale.edu/cgi-bin/Pwebrecon.cgi?Search%5FArg=Wolfe%20Thomas%20Kennerly&Search%5FCode=NAME%5F&CNT=50&PID=qdDw89mqbpVPbrSDSeEdi6ynqhFT&BROWSE=2&HC=1&SID=1 Link to Entry] ] While the thesis was historical, it was on a literary subject and for the thesis Wolfe interviewed many of the writers chronicled in his thesis, including Malcolm Cowley, Archibald MacLeish and James T. Farrell. [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=6-10] Ragen said of Wolfe's thesis, "reading it, one sees what has been the most baleful influence of graduate education on many who have suffered through it: it deadens all sense of style." [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=9]

Journalism and New Journalism

Though Wolfe was offered teaching jobs in academia, he opted to work as a reporter. In 1956 while still working on his thesis, Wolfe became a reporter for the "Springfield Union" in Springfield, Massachusetts. Wolfe finished his thesis in 1957 and in 1959 was hired by "The Washington Post". Wolfe has said that part of the reason he was hired by the Post was his lack of interest in politics. The Post's city editor was, "amazed that Wolfe preferred cityside to Capitol Hill, the beat every reporter wanted." He won an award from the newspaper guild for foreign reporting in Cuba in 1961, and also won the guild's award for humor. While there he experimented with using fiction-writing techniques in feature stories.cite news |url = http://www.washingtonpost.com/wp-dyn/content/article/2006/06/30/AR2006063001308.html |title = Tom Wolfe's Washington Post |work = The Washington Post |date = 2006-07-02 |accessdate = 2007-03-09 |language = English ]

In 1962 Wolfe left Washington for New York City, taking a position with the "New York Herald-Tribune" as a general assignment reporter and a feature writer. The editors of the "Herald-Tribune" encouraged their writers to break the conventions of newspaper writing. During a New York newspaper strike in 1963, Wolfe approached "Esquire Magazine" about an article on the hot rod and custom car culture of Southern California. He struggled with the article until finally a desperate editor Byron Dobell suggested that Wolfe send him his notes so they could iron it out together. Wolfe procrastinated until finally, on the evening before the article was due he sat down at his typewriter and banged out a letter to Dobell explaining what he wanted to say on the subject, ignoring all journalistic conventions. Dobell's response was to remove the salutation "Dear Byron" from the top of the letter and publish it intact as reportage. The result, published in 1964, was "There Goes (Varoom! Varoom!) That Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby." The article was widely discussed—loved by some, hated by others—and helped Wolfe publish his first book, "The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby", a collection of his writings in the "Herald-Tribune", "Esquire" and elsewhere. [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=11-12]

This was what Wolfe called New Journalism, in which some journalists and essayists experimented with a variety of literary techniques, mixing them with the traditional ideal of dispassionate, even-handed reporting. One of the most striking examples of this idea is Wolfe's "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test". The book, a narrative account of the adventures of the Merry Pranksters, a famous sixties counter-culture group, was highly experimental in its use of onomatopoeia, free association, and eccentric use of punctuation—such as multiple exclamation marks and italics—to convey the manic ideas and personalities of Ken Kesey and his followers.

In addition to his own forays into this new style of journalism, Wolfe edited a collection of New Journalism with EW Johnson, published in 1973 and titled simply "The New Journalism". This book brought together pieces from Truman Capote, Hunter S Thompson, Norman Mailer, Gay Talese, Joan Didion and several other well-known writers, with the common theme of journalism that incorporated literary techniques and could be considered literature. [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=19-22]

Non-fiction books

In 1965 a collection of his articles in this style was published under the title "The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby" and Wolfe's fame grew. A second volume of articles, "The Pump House Gang", followed in 1968. He wrote on popular culture, architecture, politics and other topics that underscored, among other things, how American life in the 1960s was transformed as a result of post-WWII economic prosperity. His defining work from this era is "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test" (published the same day as "The Pump House Gang"), which epitomized the decade of the 1960s for many. Although a conservative in many ways and certainly not a hippie, Wolfe became one of the notable figures of the decade.

In 1970 he published two essays in book form in "Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers": "These Radical Chic Evenings," a biting account of a party given by Leonard Bernstein to raise money for the Black Panther Party, and "Mau-Mauing The Flak Catchers," about the practice of using racial intimidation ("mau-mauing") to extract funds from government welfare bureaucrats ("flak catchers"). The phrase "radical chic" soon became a popular derogatory term for upper class leftism. In 1977, "Mauve Gloves & Madmen, Clutter & Vine" hit bookstores; embodying one of Wolfe's more famous essays, "The Me Decade and the Third Great Awakening."

In 1979 Wolfe published "The Right Stuff", an account of the pilots who became America's first astronauts. Famously following their training and unofficial, even foolhardy, exploits, he likened these heroes to "single combat champions" of a by-gone era, going forth to battle in the Space Race on behalf of their country. In 1983 the book was adapted as a successful feature film.

Art critiques

Wolfe also wrote two highly critical social histories of modern art and modern architecture, "The Painted Word" and "From Bauhaus to Our House", in 1975 and 1981, respectively. "The Painted Word" mocked the excessive insularity of the art world and its dependence on faddish critical theory, while "From Bauhaus to Our House" explored the negative effects of the Bauhaus style on the evolution of modern architecture. [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=22–29]

He has championed the book [http://www.fragileunion.com "A Fragile Union"] , a biography of the early 20th-century artist Louise Herreshoff, an eccentric Impressionist painter whose work was almost never exhibited during her lifetime. Herreshoff donated her oeuvre, and a massive collection of priceless Chinese export porcelain that she and her husband had amassed, to Washington and Lee, Wolfe's (and her husband's) alma mater. Herreshoff married a cousin but quickly threw him out of their home. She almost married another cousin, but instead, in her sixties, married a man 28 years younger. They lived agreeably ever after, until they both died almost simultaneously more than quarter-century later. In his rollicking introduction to the book, Wolfe says their story would have been envied by Charles Dickens and Edith Wharton.

Novels

Throughout his early career, Wolfe had planned to write a novel that would capture the wide spectrum of American society. Among his models was William Makepeace Thackeray's "Vanity Fair", which described the society of 19th century England. Wolfe remained occupied writing nonfiction books on his own and contributing to Harper's until 1981, when he ceased his other projects to work on the novel.

Wolfe began researching the novel by observing cases at the Manhattan Criminal Court and shadowing members of the Bronx homicide squad. While the research came easy, the writing did not immediately follow. To overcome his writers' block, Wolfe wrote to Jann Wenner, editor of "Rolling Stone", to propose an idea drawn from Charles Dickens and Thackeray. The Victorian novelists that Wolfe viewed as his models had often written their novels in serial installments. Wenner offered Wolfe around $200,000 to serialize his work. [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=31] The deadline pressure gave him the motivation he'd hoped for, and from July 1984 to August 1985 each biweekly issue of "Rolling Stone" contained a new installment. Wolfe was not happy with his "very public first draft" [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=32] , and thoroughly revised his work. Even Sherman McCoy, the central character of the novel, changed—originally a writer, the book version cast McCoy as a bond trader. (Wolfe used his own experience as a hedge fund investor to gain insight into the world of arcane financial transactions and Wall Street egos.) Wolfe researched and revised for two years. "The Bonfire of the Vanities" appeared in 1987. The book was a commercial and critical success, spending weeks on bestseller lists and earning praise from much of the literary establishment on which Wolfe had long heaped scorn. [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=30–34]

Because of the success of Wolfe's first novel, there was widespread interest in his second work of fiction. This project took him more than eleven years to complete; "A Man in Full" was published finally in 1998. The book's reception was not universally positive, though it received glowing reviews in "Time", "Newsweek", "The Wall Street Journal", and elsewhere. An enormous initial printing of 1.2 million copies was announced and the book stayed at number one on the "New York Times" bestseller list for ten weeks. John Updike wrote a critical review for "The New Yorker", in which he wrote that the novel "amounts to Entertainment, not literature, even literature in a modest aspirant form." This touched off an intense war of words in the print and broadcast media between Wolfe and Updike, John Irving, and Norman Mailer. In 2001, Wolfe published an essay referring to these three authors as "My Three Stooges."

After publishing "Hooking Up" (a collection of short pieces, including the 1997 novella "Ambush at Fort Bragg") in 2001, he followed up with his third novel, "I Am Charlotte Simmons" (2004), which chronicles the culture clash between a poor, scholarship student from Appalachia and the class prejudice, materialism and sexual promiscuity she finds at a prestigious contemporary American university. The novel met with a mostly tepid response by critics, but won praise from many social conservatives who saw the book's disturbing account of college sexuality as revealing moral decline. The novel won a dubious award from the London-based "Literary Review" "to draw attention to the crude, tasteless, often perfunctory use of redundant passages of sexual description in the modern novel," though the author later explained that such sexual references were deliberately clinical.

Wolfe has written that his goal in writing fiction is to document contemporary society, in the tradition of John Steinbeck, Charles Dickens and Emile Zola.

In early 2008 it was announced that Wolfe left his longtime publisher Farrar, Strauss. His fourth novel, "Back to Blood" is set to be published in 2009 by Little, Brown. According to "The New York Times" Wolfe will be paid close to US$7 million for the book.Rich, Motoko.

The white suit

Wolfe adopted the white suit as a trademark in 1962. He bought his first white suit planning to wear it in the summer in the style of Southern gentleman. The suit he purchased, however, was too heavy in the summer for his tastes and so he wore it in winter instead. He found wearing the suit in the winter created a sensation and adopted it as his trademark. [Harvnb|Ragen|2002|pp=12] Wolfe has maintained the uniform ever since, sometimes worn with a matching white tie, white homburg hat, and two-tone shoes. Wolfe has said that the outfit disarms the people he observes, making him, in their eyes, "a man from Mars, the man who didn't know anything and was eager to know." [ [http://www.smh.com.au/news/Books/In-Wolfes-clothing/2004/12/17/1102787266352.html "In Wolfe's clothing"] , John Freeman, "The Sydney Morning Herald", December 18, 2004]

Views

In 1989 Wolfe wrote an essay for "Harper's Magazine" entitled "Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast", which criticized modern American novelists for failing to engage fully with their subjects, and suggested modern literature could be saved by a greater reliance on journalistic technique. This essay was seen as an attack on the mainstream literary establishment, and a boast that Wolfe's work was superior to more highly-regarded authors. [ [http://www.lukeford.net/Images/photos3/tomwolfe.pdf "Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast"] (PDF file), Tom Wolfe, "Harper's Magazine", 1989]

Wolfe is a fan of George W. Bush and voted for him for President in 2004, due to what he calls Bush's "great decisiveness and willingness to fight." (Bush, in turn, reciprocates the admiration, having read all of Wolfe's books.) [ [http://www.nytimes.com/2005/02/07/politics/07letter.html "Bush's Official Reading List, and a Racy Omission"] , Elisabeth Bumiller, "The New York Times", February 7, 2005] After this fact emerged in a "New York Times" interview, Wolfe said that the reaction in the literary world was as if he had said "I forgot to tell you—I'm a child molester." Because of this incident he sometimes wears an American flag pin on his suit, which he compared to "holding up a cross to werewolves " [sic] "." [ [http://www.opinionjournal.com/editorial/feature.html?id=110008076 "Status Reporter"] , Joseph Rago, "The Wall Street Journal", March 11, 2006]

Wolfe's views and choice of subject material, such as mocking left-wing intellectuals in "Radical Chic" and glorifying astronauts in "The Right Stuff", have sometimes led to him being labelled conservative or reactionary, labels that he rejects. He has said that his "idol" in writing about society and culture is Emile Zola, who, in Wolfe's words, was "a man of the left" but "went out, and found a lot of ambitious, drunk, slothful and mean people out there. Zola simply could not—and was not interested in—telling a lie." [ [http://www.guardian.co.uk/uselections2004/story/0,,1340525,00.html 'The liberal elite hasn't got a clue'] , Ed Vulliamy, "The Guardian", November 1, 2004]

Asked to comment by the "Wall Street Journal" on blogs in 2007, to mark the tenth anniversary of their advent, Wolfe wrote that "the universe of blogs is a universe of rumors," and that "blogs are an advance guard to the rear." He also criticized Wikipedia, which he said "only a primitive would believe a word of," noting a story about him that was in his Wikipedia entry at the time, which he said never happened.

Impact

Wolfe is credited with introducing the terms "statusphere," "the right stuff," "radical chic," "the Me Decade," and "good ol' boy" into the English lexicon. [ [http://www.neh.gov/whoweare/wolfe/biography.html Tom Wolfe - Jefferson Lecturer Biography] , Meredith Hindley, 2006] He is sometimes credited with inventing the term "trophy wife" as well, but this is incorrect. [ [http://query.nytimes.com/gst/fullpage.html?res=9F06E6DA1031F932A35756C0A962958260&sec=&spon=&pagewanted=print "ON LANGUAGE; Trophy Wife"] , William Safire, "The New York Times", May 1, 1994] According to journalism professor Ben Yagoda, Wolfe is also responsible for the use of the present tense in magazine profile pieces; before he began doing so in the early 1960s, profile articles had always been written in the past tense. ["When You Catch an Adjective, Kill It", Ben Yagoda, 2007, p. 228]

Awards and accolades

Wolfe's 1979 book "The Right Stuff" won the American Book Award for nonfiction, the National Institute of Arts and Letters Harold Vursell Award for prose style, and the Columbia Journalism Award.

In 1984, Wolfe won the prestigious Dos Passos Prize for literature from Longwood University.

Wolfe's 2004 novel "I Am Charlotte Simmons" "won" the "Literary Review"'s Bad Sex in Fiction Award.

On May 10, 2006, Tom Wolfe delivered the 35th Jefferson Lecture in the Humanities (entitled "The Human Beast") at the Warner Theatre. [ [http://www.neh.gov/whoweare/wolfe/index.html Tom Wolfe: 2006 Jefferson Lecturer in the Humanities ] ]
