    Absolutely Delightful.
  

*by B***C on Reviewed in the United States on November 5, 2004*

I can't believe it took me this long to get around to reading this book.  Here we see the rich and famous cavorting with violent anti-white, anti-American, and anti-Semitic criminals during the 1960s.  It's hard to say who these pampered masochistic high society types hated more; themselves or their own people.  Wolfe's recounting of Leonard Bernstein's "ode to the Panthers" party is outstanding.  It's great journatlism.  Heck, you know a situation is surreal when Barbara Walters is a voice of reason at a social gathering.As a writer, Wolfe, could not possibly have done a better job.  The narrator is everywhere but is not himself a character in the proceedings.  He may be a fly on the wall but he is a fly that takes copious notes.  The details are magnificent and he has a savant's eye for great quotations.  You'll laugh, you'll rage, the limousine liberals and champagne socialists will astound you.  The book was written over 30 years ago but it is just as applicable today as one could replace The Black Panthers with a nineties fellon like Mumia Abu Jamal.  The section on mau-mauing, or the fine art of the racial shakedown, is totally priceless.  It too is as applicable to the present as to the past.  Wolfe foreshadows the great future successes of Al Sharpton and Jesse Jackson at coercing cash out of whites who willingly give it away to ease their politically correct minds.  A magnificent effort and, at 10 bucks, the price isn't bad--a pity that he didn't write another 200 pages.

    Last time being Black got super trendy, this is what happened.
  

*by A***R on Reviewed in the United States on August 11, 2021*

In the 1960s, it suddenly got trendy to be Black.  Tom Wolfe wrote two long stories about how New York high society and how San Francisco political society and Black Power groups responded.  Both stories are true, both are funny, both are tragic.  And both are informative about the likely excesses of our own 2020's sudden elevation of "Black Lives Matter" to a politically correct religion.  Those who don't learn from history are condemned to reap it.  This book will entertainingly teach a little corner of how it came down last time.

    Perhaps Not the Most Fun You've Had At a Party But It Is Nice To Know The Glitteratie Goof As Well
  

*by L***P on Reviewed in the United States on June 26, 2018*

More than 50 years later the guests at the unfortunate party given by Leonard Bernstein and his wife for the Black Panthers, must still cringe when they think of this book. With that sort of reaction from the party goers, best you go along, with Tom Wolfe as your dinner partner, and find out what went on. In a very real sense, this as a relevance now that it could not have had then; Social integration was, then, almost a stunt whereas today it's a maxim. Sadly, today's parties of disparate groups could never produce the hilarity found here;. As to the Mau Mauing the Flak Catchers, anyone who has had to deal with "customer service' will find an enormous number of very helpful hints at how to get past those unfortunate folk who have accepted jobs answering phones believing, or perhaps told,, that derailing the customer or caller whatever their beef, was good for both sides.
