A Man In Full by Tom Wolfe

A Man in Full is a novel by Tom Wolfe, published in 1998 by Farrar, Straus & Giroux. This 742-page satire portrays a high-flying real-estate mogul amid the intricate social dynamics of Atlanta, the vibrant capital of the New South, who is saved from a moral dilemma by the Stoicism of Epictetus. Part of the novel also takes place in Oakland, California. Most of the mainstream American newspapers and news magazines gave the book positive reviews.

A decade ago, "The Bonfire of the Vanities" defined an era--and established Tom Wolfe as a major fiction chronicler of America at its most outrageous and alive. In his new novel, set in present-day Atlanta, Wolfe shows readers the disparate worlds of contemporary America, as he chronicles the story of an event that shatters the city's delicate racial balance.
