  Tom Wolfe

  Wolfe was educated at Washington and Lee Universities and also at Yale, where he received a PhD in American studies.
  
  Tom Wolfe spent his early days as a Washington Post beat reporter, where his free-association, onomatopoetic style would later become the trademark of New Journalism. In books such as The Electric Koolaid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, and The Bonfire of the Vanities, Wolfe delves into the inner workings of the mind, writing about the unconscious decisions people make in their lives.

  He is one of the founders of the New Journalism movement of the 1960s and 1970s.
