Críticas:

"Might well be required reading in courses with names like American studies." --Time Magazine

"I'm always rereading Tom Wolfe's The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby." --David Gates

"Tom Wolfe is a terrific writer." --The Washington Monthly

"Wolfe can do things with words and settings that few writers are capable of matching." --Tom Walker, The Denver Post

"The man's done the impossible. He--Yes!--understands America!" --Houston Chronicle

"His eye and ear for detailed observation are incomparable; and observation is to the satirist what bullets are to a gun." --The Boston Sunday Globe

Reseña del editor:

"An excellent book by a genius," said Kurt Vonnegut, Jr., of this now classic exploration of the 1960s from the founder of new journalism.

"This is a book that will be a sharp pleasure to reread years from now, when it will bring back, like a falcon in the sky of memory, a whole world that is currently jetting and jazzing its way somewhere or other."--Newsweek

In his first book, The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (1965) Wolfe introduces us to the sixties, to extravagant new styles of life that had nothing to do with the "elite" culture of the past.
