Klappentext zu „Back to Blood, English edition “
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 officer Nestor Camacho on board-Tom Wolfe is off and running. Into the feverous landscape of the city, he introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his Latina nurse by day, loin lock by night-until lately, the love of Nestor's life; a refined, and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting, black-gang-banger-stylin' little brother; a billionaire porn addict, crack dealers in the 'hoods, "de-skilled" conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair, "spectators" at the annual Biscayne Bay regatta looking only for that night's orgy, yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an "Active Adult" condo, and a nest of shady Russians. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous bestselling novels, BACK TO BLOOD is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times.
Autoren-Porträt von Tom Wolfe
Tom Wolfe (eigentlich: Thomas Kennerly Wolfe) wurde am 2. März 1931 in Richmond, Virginia, geboren. Nach der Promotion an der Yale University in New Haven, Connecticut, arbeitete er als Reporter bei der "Washington Post" und zog 1962 nach New York, wo er zum Starreporter der "New York Herold Tribune" aufstieg. Nach zwei Reportageromanen ("The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test", 1968, deutsch: "Unter Strom"; "The Right Stuff", 1979, deutsch: "Die Helden der Nation") veröffentlichte Tom Wolfe 1987 seinen ersten fiktionalen Roman - "Fegefeuer der Eitelkeiten" - und schaffte damit sogleich den internationalen Durchbruch.

Rezension zu „Back to Blood, English edition “
PRAISE FOR TOM WOLFE:Bonfire of the Vanities (1987):'A big, bitter, funny, craftily plotted book that grabs you by the lapels and won't let go.' - New York Times Book Review - 'A superb human comedy and the first novel ever to get contemporary New York, in all its arrogance and shame and heterogeneity and insularity, exactly right.' - Washington Post Book World - A Man in Full (1998):'The novel contains passages as powerful and as beautiful as anything written--not merely by contemporary American novelists but by any American novelist....The book is as funny as anything Wolfe has ever written; at the same time it is also deeply, strangely affecting.' - New York Times Book Review - I Am Charlotte Simmons (2004):'Wolfe is one of the greatest literary stylists and social observers of our much observed postmodern era....A rich, wise, absorbing, and irresistible novel.' - Time - Lev Grossman - 'Wolfe's dialogue is some of the finest in literature, not just fast but deep. He hears the cacophony of our modern lives.' - Los Angeles Times
