Whenever there's active promotion on the part of somebody else, whenever I see somebody all dolled up for a fancy photograph and someone's handing out flyers or whenever there's active promotion for something like that, as an imposition on my day, I hate all those people and I want them to fail. I have a visceral reaction to advertising and promotion. There's just something about salesmanship that grates on me on a very base level and I react very negatively towards it. I want those people to suffer and I want their enterprises to fail.

Tom Wolfe

Ever seen De Palma’s adaptation of Bonfire?

Never have, I hear it's awful.

I fucking love it. You should give it a shot. It’s quite prescient.

[Jorge]

Yeah. I think of it this way: no Tom Wolfe, no Bonfire of the Vanities, no Brian de Palma-filmed version of Bonfire of the Vanities, no The Devil's Candy: The Bonfire of the Vanities Goes to Hollywood, Julie Salamon's absolutely stellar 1992 book covering the production of said film start to stop, in doing so not only providing a general snapshot of time and place but an all too perfectly telling meditation on power, structural bias, sexism and much more in Hollywood. So even if he hadn't done anything else in his career, Tom Wolfe and his damned white suits brought some good to the world.

Never even heard of this, but it sounds great. Will see if my library has it before ordering a used copy on Amazon. Thanks jorg.

But my taxes have already paid for the library to procure it for me.

The library is fine. I meant "used copy" from Amazon.
