=====================================<\/strong><\/p>\n

American Thinker<\/strong>
\nby Monica Showalter
\n5\/16\/2018<\/h3>\n

Excerpt:<\/strong><\/p>\n

It’s couched in oh, so delicate terms, as pretty much everyone mourns the death of the great Tom Wolfe.\u00a0\u00a0Tom Wolfe was a reporter; Tom Wolfe was an observer.\u00a0\u00a0Tom Wolfe eyed status-seeking.\u00a0\u00a0Tom Wolfe skewered the establishment.\u00a0\u00a0And through his incredible mastery of words, he entertained the hell out of us.<\/em><\/p>\n

Yes, true enough.\u00a0\u00a0But somehow he never got a Nobel Prize in literature, despite vastly outranking almost everyone else who has.<\/em><\/p>\n

So I guess I am corrupting things a little when I state the obvious about Wolfe: he did write; he did observe; he did skewer; and by gosh, it all added up to making the left look stupid, particularly the cultural left, because it is the establishment.\u00a0\u00a0There is no way a writer this honest could not find them.\u00a0\u00a0And because he was a ferocious believer in and chronicler of American exceptionalism, he got them good.<\/em><\/p>\n

Oh, he made the left look stupid.\u00a0\u00a0It’s why reading his work is such a delicious pleasure.<\/em><\/p>\n
