Tom Wolfe’s modern American satire tells the story of Sherman McCoy, a Wall Street “Master of the Universe” who has it all — a Park Avenue apartment, a job that brings wealth, power and prestige, a beautiful wife, an even more beautiful mistress.
Suddenly, one wrong turn makes it all go wrong, and Sherman spirals downward in a sudden fall from grace that sucks him into the ravenous heart of a New York City gone mad during the go-go, racially turbulent, socially hilarious 1980s.
It's a little bit hard to follow the story lines as there are so many characters in it. But once get to it, it is a pleasant read. The story is ironic, but so is life. That said, as a member of the society, our deeds constantly change other people's lives, while we are never the less influenced by the people around us. Butterfly effect.

评分Tom Wolfe大作,確實有點不必要的長……但給後世留下瞭一幅80年代紐約眾生相還是很有意義,有很多方麵意外地和當前相互對照
