3.0 out of 5 stars The Tom Wolfe segment, November 8, 2007

By	Shalom Freedman "Shalom Freedman" (Jerusalem,Israel) - See all my reviews (TOP 50 REVIEWER)

I expected something completely different from what was given here. I had many years before read Wolfe's first essays. They were to say the least flammboyantly original wild wild wild. They had brilliance and originality in them even though there was a bit of mean- spiritedness there. The power of mocking satire can be funny but it also can be extremely cruel.
This interview presented a much tamer creature. Wolfe had a softness about him I did not expect. And above all the conversation is not scintillating. He may well be one of those people who can only really let go properly when he writes.
In any case if I had skipped this I don't feel I would have missed much of anything.
