Journalist & novelist
Tom Wolfe
Wore a white suit for fifty years and did as much as anybody to invent the New Journalism, then wrote The Bonfire of the Vanities.
Thomas Kennerly Wolfe Jr. was an American author and journalist widely known for his association with New Journalism, a style of news writing and journalism developed in the 1960s and 1970s that incorporated literary techniques. Much of Wolfe's work is satirical and centers on the counterculture of the 1960s and issues related to class, social status, and the lifestyles of the economic and intellectual elites of New York City.
