Tom Wolfe’s modern American satire tells the story of Sherman McCoy, a Wall Street “Master of the Universe” who has it all — a Park Avenue apartment, a job that brings wealth, power and prestige, a beautiful wife, an even more beautiful mistress.
Suddenly, one wrong turn makes it all go wrong, and Sherman spirals downward in a sudden fall from grace that sucks him into the ravenous heart of a New York City gone mad during the go-go, racially turbulent, socially hilarious 1980s.

It's a little bit hard to follow the story lines as there are so many characters in it. But once get to it, it is a pleasant read. The story is ironic, but so is life. That said, as a member of the society, our deeds constantly change other people's lives, while we are never the less influenced by the people around us. Butterfly effect.
评分a little bit too verbose
评分本以为沉重无味,想不到居然如此风趣幽默。故事情节如此简单,却依然引人入胜;文笔词汇如此生活,却亦常有神来之笔。不得不说Tom Wolfe功力甚深,可为我辈楷模。
评分读这本书的第一个感觉是 bronx就像是法外之地,有自己一套不同的准则,从慈善到法律都如此。第二个感觉是同情男主,做的事情不是十恶不赦的性质,却被拿来消费游街, 最后就算是被法官一审判大陪审团判罚无效,但后来那个法官还成了政治牺牲品,小哥最终也是在劫难逃的样子。一切都是政治决定的啊!
