Tom Wolfe's dazzling protagonist, Carter Wonderings, is a Manhattan socialite adrift in a sea of privilege. When a chance encounter with a ragged street performer jolts him from his gilded existence, Carter embarks on a quixotic odyssey to understand the lives he's overlooked. As he navigates the gritty underbelly of the city, his eyes are opened to the hidden humanity all around him. With Wolfe's signature style, Wonderings of the Wolfe is a poignant exploration of class, purpose, and the connective tissue that binds us all.
