A collection of impeccably observed stories, sketches, and essays in full, exuberant, classic Wolfe mode. Originally published in 1976, these stories, essays, and illustrations capture the full spectrum of the '70s ("the Me Decade," in Wolfe's memorable words), from the hilarious to the hard-hitting. Reissued for today's reader, the third installment in Wolfe's trilogy of essay-length works after The Pump House Gang and The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, Mauve Gloves & Madmen, Clutter & Vine is wide-ranging, irreverent, colorful, and gimlet-eyed.
