One of America's best known and controversial authors, Tom Wolfe (http://www.tomwolfe.com/) has written more than a dozen books, among them such contemporary classics as The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, The Bonfire of the Vanities, and I Am Charlotte Simmons. Over the last five decades, these books have firmly established Mr. Wolfe as America's “pre-eminent social realist” (Newsday). Picador will publish new editions of two more Wolfe titles, The Painted Word and the 40th Anniversary edition of The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, in December, with more to come in 2009.
