Tom Wolfe’s modern American satire tells the story of Sherman McCoy， a Wall Street “Master of the Universe” who has it all — a Park Avenue apartment， a job that brings wealth， power and prestige， a beautiful wife， an even more beautiful mistress. Suddenly， one wrong turn makes it all go wrong， and Sherman spirals downward in a sudden fall from grace that sucks him into the ravenous heart of a New York City gone mad during the go-go， racially turbulent， socially hilarious 1980s.From the Trade Paperback edition.
