Tom Wolfe's landmark satirical novel chronicles the catastrophic downfall of McCoy after a hit-and-run accident in the Bronx entangles him in a web of media sensationalism, political opportunism, and class warfare that exposes the rotten core beneath Manhattan's gleaming facade.\n\nWolfe deploys his razor-sharp journalistic eye and a savage wit to dissect the interlocking worlds of high finance, tabloid journalism, and the criminal justice system, painting a portrait of an era defined by excess and moral vacancy. The Bonfire of the Vanities stands as one of the great American novels of the twentieth century — a sprawling, ferociously energetic indictment of a society that rewards vanity and punishes weakness. With a new foreword by the author, this edition invites readers to ask whether the city — and the country — has truly changed at all.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Secondhand Stock","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":49130604036315,"sku":"2026200009929-SECONDHAND","price":20.0,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0523\/7646\/9701\/files\/e5b081df-4b16-467a-861d-ccd9581baeef.png?v=1786587337","url":"https:\/\/bookgrocer.com\/products\/2026200009929-secondhand-the-bonfire-of-the-vanities","provider":"Book Grocer","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
