The Bonfire of the Vanities author, Tom Wolfe, ingeniously dissects the turbulent heart of AmericaтАЩs racial vortex in this exhilarating tale of sweltering Miami
As the police boat speeds across MiamiтАЩs Biscayne Bay, the scene is set for Officer Nestor CamachoтАЩs great moment of heroism. Except that in this feverous melting pot of a city, Nestor's one act of heroism can be seen as an utter betrayal of his Cuban roots.
As NestorтАЩs world disintegrates тАУ his family disowns him, he canтАЩt get a Cuban coffee without ugly stares, and his girlfriend Magdalena leaves him for her sex-addiction psychiatrist boss тАУ his quest to right the wrongs brings him into contact with the full panorama of modern Miami. The Cuban mayor, a Yale-marinated journalist, the black police chief, the clueless baying art-buyers and an Anglo billionaire porn addict all come up for scrutiny in Tom WolfeтАЩs high-energy, scrupulous and hilarious reckoning with our times.
