For a bookish lifestyle ...
The basics and a few surprises – like reading journals, pins, notebooks, water bottles, vegan condoms.

New
4,00 €by Tom Wolfe
After Tom Wolfe defined the ’60s in The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test and Radical Chic and Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers and the cultural U-turn at the turn of the ’80s in The Right Stuff, nobody thought he could ever top himself again. In 1987, when The Bonfire of the Vanities arrived, the literati called Wolfe an “aging enfant terrible.” -
