New York: Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 2004.

First edition of this “hilarious, exclamation-point filled novel” (John Freeman). Octavo, original half cloth. Presentation copy, inscribed by the author on the title page, “For Bill and Karyn Frist Tom Wolfe.” The recipient Bill Frist was a two term senator from Tennessee, who served as majority leader of the senate. Fine in a fine dust jacket. Jacket design by Susan Mitchell.

With his trademark satirical wit and famously sharp eye for telling detail, Wolfe's I Am Charlotte Simmons draws on extensive observations at campuses across the country to immortalize the early-21st-century college-going experience. “Wolfe is one of the greatest literary stylists and social observers of our much observed postmodern era. . . . A rich, wise, absorbing, and irresistible novel" (Lev Grossman, Time).
