In Our Time is a biting collection of Tom Wolfe's essays and illustrations cataloging and critiquing the state of 1970s American society. In this slim but unsparing collection of razor-sharp observations and mordant caricatures, Wolfe reaffirms his role as the great chronicler, debunker, and exuberant plain speaker of American letters. Wolfe's joyriding satirical tour through the emerging American archetypes of the 1970s is an essential portrait of the delirious, madding decade.

Reissued for today's reader with a cover by renowned artist Seymour Chwast, In Our Time is a biting collection of Tom Wolfe's essays and illustrations on 1980s America.
