MixedThe MillionsWolfe makes a habit of turning all the 'great men' of history into straw men ... New Journalism was about the author asserting himself in the story by becoming a part of it. But when Wolfe stays in his chair, he becomes just another elderly man shouting at his computer. This is not entirely a bad thing — nobody shouts at his computer quite like Tom Wolfe ... I’m pretty sure The Kingdom of Speech is what used to be known as 'a hoot.' Never have I been so entertained by such a shoddy argument.
