FYI: Tom Wolfe, the ice-cream-suited dandy and prose provocateur who took a new mixture of journalism and literary techniques to mind-bending heights in works such as “Radical Chic” and “The Right Stuff,” has died. He was 87.
He died Monday in a Manhattan hospital, according to the New York Times, citing his agent, Lynn Nesbit, who said Wolfe had been hospitalized with an infection. He lived in New York.
Regards,
Ted
