This book is about the stuff you learn when you've worked for a boss you'd swear jumped out of a Dilbert cartoon; worked in a business whose performance careened up and down like a runaway clown car; when you've faced legal or ethical problems that needed the wisdom of Solomon to sort out while they roiled your guts at night; or when you've sat on the stand across from some third-rate Perry Mason, or tried to be one yourself.

Als "Schau heimwärts, Engel!" 1929 veröffentlicht wurde, schlug der Roman des erst 29-jährigen Thomas Wolfe ein wie eine Bombe. Der Literaturnobelpreisträger Sinclair Lewis bezeichnete das Werk als "eine kolossalische Schöpfung von tiefer Lebenslust" und William Faulkner rühmte Wolfe als den überragenden Autor seiner Generation. Mit dem Familienepos um Eugene Gant, der seiner Familie und der amerikanischen Provinz den Rücken kehrt und seiner Herkunft doch nicht entkommen kann, hat Thomas Wolfe einen Roman geschaffen, der fast ein Jahrhundert nach seinem Erscheinen noch immer unzählige Menschen in seinen Bann schlägt.

In Tom Wolfe's hands, the strange saga of American architecture in the 20th century makes for both high comedy and intellectual excitement. This is his sequel to The Painted Word, the book that caused such a furor in the art world five years before. Once again Wolfe shows how social and intellectual fashions have determined aesthetic form in our time and how willingly the creators have abandoned personal vision and originality in order to work a la mode.
