Thirteen very varied sallies from Mr. Wolfe, three going back to the 60s, attempting to show that his finger is still on the pulse. My Three Stooges is fun, an attack on John Updike, Norman Mailer and John Irving, all of whom had dissed his A Man in Full, with the understandable claim that he could not write a novel. He disagrees.
