The story is a drama about ambition, racism, social class, politics, and greed in 1980s New York City, and centers on three main characters: WASP bond trader Sherman McCoy, Jewish assistant district attorney Larry Kramer, and British expatriate journalist Peter Fallow.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cbr\u003e\u003cspan\u003eThe novel was originally conceived as a serial in the style of Charles Dickens' writings: It ran in 27 installments in Rolling Stone starting in 1984. Wolfe heavily revised it before it was published in book form. The novel was a bestseller and a phenomenal success, even in comparison with Wolfe's other books. It has often been called the quintessential novel of the 1980s.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Bookshop Apocalypse","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":67588954554617,"sku":null,"price":25.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/3103\/1574\/files\/bonfireofvanitiesfirst2ndprint-1.jpg?v=1793700550","url":"https:\/\/bookshopapocalypse.com\/products\/the-bonfire-of-the-vanities-by-tom-wolfe-first-edition-1987-farrar-straus-giroux","provider":"Bookshop Apocalypse","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
