The Pump House Gang - Tom Wolfe Takes a Look at 1960's Social Climbers

Date of Review:  Jun 18, 2007
The Bottom Line: The Pump House Gang should be required reading for anyone interested in Journalism.
Review: In the late 1960 s, an article appeared in New York magazine, about Dr. Edward T. Hall. An anthropologist, Dr. Hall was working on a premise that much the same as certain animal species, human beings have an instinctive need for personal space...

Professional Reviews

  New York Times Book Review: "[There is] a lingering rhetorical 'so what?' that one asks oneself after reading some of the pieces, simply because, no matter how fresh a treatment an unrefreshing subject is given, one still remains bored....And yet, Tom Wolfe manages somehow to imbue them all with a semblance of life, no matter how depressing they may seem. The best piece in this collection is 'Bob and Spike,' ...a devastating caricature of New York society and its art world....Unfortunately, however, [his book] isn't really much more than a remake, a Son of 'Kandy-Kolored'. It's good enough, but not in the same league as 'The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test'."
