About This Item
new: Farrar Straus and Giroux, 1970 Book. Fine. Hardcover. 1st US Edition. "The book consists of two long essays, closely related in theme and substance, both dealing with political stances and social styles in our status-minded world. In 'Radical Chic,' Wolfe describes one of the intriguing phenomena of our time: the courting of romantic radicals-Black Panthers, striking grapeworkers, Young Lords-by New York's socially elite. He focuses particularly on one symbolic event: the gathering of the radically chic at Leonard Bernstein's duplex apartment on Park Avenue to meet spokesmen of the Black Panther Party, to hear them out and talk over ways of aiding their cause. ("Who do you call to give a party?" was one Parlour Panther's repeated refrain.) Tom Wolfe re-creates the incongruous scene-and its astonishing repercussions-with high fidelity" 153p. Bookstore ticket, else as new.
