I realize I'm in an overwhelmed minority here but it's my all time favorite of Wolfe's. It was also my first read from him and remember being totally enthralled by his style for the first time. Tom Wolfe was the last great American author for the time being imo
I greatly enjoyed the philosophical nature of the narrative and concede it is way less "plot-driven" than Bonfire

I like a lot of Tom Wolfe, but Michael Chabon is 10 times the author Wolfe was.

I read the book about 25 years ago, and while I thought that it was just an OK novel, I can see it making a pretty good mini=series, as long as it's well done. The main characters in the book go through some pretty big transitions, so that bodes well for a six part series.
But, I fully expect Wokeism to ruin the series.
