About “Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamlined Baby”

Tom Wolfe's first book is a collection that examines the American scene of the early 1960s, focusing on the emergence of new forms of status-seeking and lifestyle across the country. It explores the cultural phenomena of the time, including the Twist, bouffant hairdos, stock car racing, rock concerts, kustomized kars, and the back-lit plastic city of Las Vegas, while also scrutinizing the old guard's resistance to these changes in fashion, nightlife, child-rearing, and art-worship.
