About this product
Product Information
A big, panoramic story of the new America, as told by our master chronicler of the way we live now. As a police launch speeds across Miami's Biscayne Bay-with officer Nestor Camacho on board-Tom Wolfe is off and running. Into the feverous landscape of the city, he introduces the Cuban mayor, the black police chief, a wanna-go-muckraking young journalist and his Yale-marinated editor; an Anglo sex-addiction psychiatrist and his Latina nurse by day, loin lock by night-until lately, the love of Nestor's life; a refined, and oh-so-light-skinned young woman from Haiti and her Creole-spouting, black-gang-banger-stylin' little brother; a billionaire porn addict, crack dealers in the 'hoods, "de-skilled" conceptual artists at the Miami Art Basel Fair, "spectators" at the annual Biscayne Bay regatta looking only for that night's orgy, yenta-heavy ex-New Yorkers at an "Active Adult" condo, and a nest of shady Russians. Based on the same sort of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe's previous bestselling novels, BACK TO BLOOD is another brilliant, spot-on, scrupulous, and often hilarious reckoning with our times.Product Identifiers

Funny, funny, funny
I wanted to read this but never got around to it so I decided to buy the CD set. I am so glad that I did. I sat in the car driving and laughing out loud. Wanted to give it to all my friends. I travel a lot so having something enjoyable like this to listen to makes the trips go by fast. But I had to remember to mind the road and not just listen and laugh. The listing asks if this is "compelling". Not exactly sure that that word applies. Not sure what word applies except "entertaining".Verified purchase: YesCondition: Pre-owned
