Tom Wolfe is back, with his most brilliant novel since The Bonfire of the Vanities, jettisoning us into the turbulent heart of America's racial vortex: Miami.
Klappentext zu „Back to Blood, English edition “
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, an ambitious young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; a psychiatrist who specialises in sex addiction and his Latina nurse by day, mistress 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, and a nest of shady Russians.Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous best-selling novels, The Bonfire of the Vanities and A Man in Full, 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 “
"Tom Wolfe...remains The Dude when it comes to surveying the crazed, bracing absurdities of our national life... Back to Blood is marked by both Wolfe's stylistic freneticim and his formidable reportorial gifts... Beginning his ninth decade, Tom Wolfe has brio to burn." -- Douglas Kennedy The Times "If this novel were rushed into A&E, it would immediately be put under heavy sedatipm." -- Peter Kemp Sunday Times "Back to Blood dazzles so much that you might want to read it through dark glasses. In terms of scale, setting and purpose, we are very much back in Bonfire." -- Simon O'Hagan Independent on Sunday "Tom Wolfe returns with a thunderous thwack, fizzing outrageously at the age of 81 with a slipstreamed comet of a novel... All Human Life is Here!... It's even better than his great hit The Bonfire of the Vanities. Unmissable stuff." -- Tom Adair Scotsman "This is an exhilarating novel... The satire is scalpel-like and very funny." -- Wynn Wheldon Spectator
