    I read the Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test when I was a teenager. Such an experience. RIP.

    Read Bonfire of the Vanities, and saw the film with Melanie Griffith, what happened to her, can’t remember who the male lead was? Enjoyed both.

    Should I try any of his others, recommendations?

    RIP

    Radical chic, a term he invented is good.

    The Purple Decades is a good compilation

    Sad to hear this, top writer. The Right Stuff is one of my all time favourite books.

    Have often considered some of the Tribal Traders and their wives that I have met at parties in Chislehurst , Bickley and Farnborough Park to be the U.K. equivalent of the " Masters of the Universe " and the " Social X rays" that he was referring to . What an insightful and intelligent man . RIP
