	New Georgia Encyclopedia: A Man in Full
		The publication in 1998 of A Man in Full, Tom Wolfe's mammoth novel about the making of modern Atlanta, became the biggest single event in the city's cultural life since the world premiere in 1939 of Gone With the Wind at Loew's Grand Theater.
		A Man in Full immediately topped best-seller lists, was nominated for a National Book Award, and became target for controversy—especially in Atlanta.
		A Man in Full captivated Atlantans because it headlined the city's quintessential mythic hero: the entrepreneur, the booster, the developer, the leader.

	The New Journal: A Land in Full (Volume 31, Number 3, November 30 1998)
		A Man in Full, Tom Wolfe (Farrar, Strauss and Giroux, 1998), pp 742.
		A Man in Full explores the different ways that America, regardless of race, class, or gender, is coming to terms with the confusion of the 1990s and the approaching millenium, of a world changing too fast.
		The egalitarian sense of suffering that A Man in Full portrays, as each character builds his castle in the sky and watches it crumble, is Wolfe's silent assertion that America's realities, worries and doubts essentially plague everyone, once their immediate differences are swept away.

	A Man in Full \| Book Review \| Entertainment Weekly (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-27)
		Tom Wolfe's long-anticipated new novel, A Man in Full, depicts the social nuances of the '90s with the same brilliance that illuminated the excesses of the '80s in The Bonfire of the Vanities.
		Raymond Peepgass (a man as doomed to plaintive inconsequence as his name suggests) is a mealy-spirited loan officer who sees the promise of personal riches in Croker's financial woes.
		Others will complain that A Man in Full isn't quite the decade-defining novel that it wants to be, a near-impossible goal in an instant-spin, movie- and TV-driven culture that no longer waits patiently for novelists (even journalists-turned- novelists) to make sense out of an era.

	Ink 19 :: A Man In Full
		Colliding with the actions of these caricatures are the struggles of a fl athlete charged with raping a white college girl, the fl civil lawyer who represents him, and the fl mayor of Atlanta who must defuse the situation in an election year.
		The action in A Man clips along successfully enough, and the physical details of the mayoral offices and country clubs forming the sets for this melodrama, are described in vivid detail.
		In both Bonfire of the Vanities and A Man in Full, Wolfe pursues the annoying habit of punishing all his characters equally.

	Flashback on A Man in Full on National Review Online
		In A Man in Full, Wolfe reports in lavish detail about such a range of human — and equestrian — activities that the effect is like one of those hyper-realistic paintings that makes you pause: Is it a painting or is it a photograph?
		Rarely does a moment pass in A Man in Full without a character comparing his status with everyone else’s and jockeying for position.
		As it is, Wolfe is novelist as sociobiologist; the action in A Man in Full often isn’t that different from the monkey-eat-monkey intrigue and sexual politics described in the recent sociobiological tract Demonic Males.

		His varied interests may tend to obscure the real stature of the man, but a master mind moved behind these apparent diversions, and his greater achievements were representative of India's rapid advance in industry.
		Though he reaped rewards, he never became a mere money-maker, but stood before his fellows as a truly noble man, who commanded the respect and esteem of everyone with whom he came into contact.
		There was no man who held stronger notions on political matters, and though he could never be induced to appear and speak on a public platform, the help, the advice, and the cooperation which he gave to political movements never ceased except with his life.

		In spite of the ballyhoo, “A Man in Full” is a remarkable book, written with incredible energy and spirit, a bumpy, twisty pedal-to-the-metal ride.
		At heart, Wolfe is a journalist, not a novelist, and “A Man in Full” reveals him at the peak of his power to observe and report.
		The young man is a surly, foul-mouthed fl man from Atlanta’s slums.

	Filmtracks: Cinderella Man (Thomas Newman)
		Cinderella Man: (Thomas Newman) In what promises to provide the first sure-fire Oscar buzz of 2005, Cinderella Man reunites the star and major crew of A Beautiful Mind for a historical sports film with attention to detail as its knockout ally.
		While the bravado and large-scale crescendos of Angels in America and his other recent successes are not present in the vast majority of Cinderella Man, the score is built on a solid orchestral foundation worthy of the era.
		Overall, on album, Cinderella Man features less than 30 minutes of score, with the cues (sometimes beginning with the sound effects of crowd noise) often exiting as quickly as they enter.

	Mani Ratnam - A Man in full - a profile by Anita Nair
		His father was a distributor; a man who lived with the business side of films rather than its creative or aesthetic aspects.
		A film that explored a relationship between an older woman and a young man. But it was with 'Mouna Raagam` a love story that managed to be both tender and exquisite without being maudlin or syrupy that Mani Ratnam made the cash registers ring.
		The furniture is quiet and as unassuming as the man. Wood and subdued pastels.

		But full realism is not Wolf's goal, rather he is creating a near-symbolic clash of forces that pushes these people toward inevitable destiny.
		Yes, race is an important issue in Atlanta, as we meet the wise -but opportunistic- fl mayor and his favorite lawyer, and we follow the central plot twist that brings everyone together.
		Here, A Man in Full has much in common with Bonfire of the Vanities.

		It's this sort of man, a true Southern beast, that Wolfe has created in Charlie Croker.
		A real estate monarch whose kingdom has turned to dross, Croker floats on the legend he created playing football in college and on his "man's man" image of himself.
		Charlie Croker is such a man - more successful, to be sure, not prone to paranoid violence like a bomber, but a dirt under the fingernails redneck, to be sure.

	A Man in Full - Tom Wolfe
		For A Man in Full we are taken to Atlanta, into the life of real estate magnate and former Georgia Tech football star, Charlie Croker.
		Rape, the subtleties of power and money, issues of race and class, and a detailed examination of horse breeding are all presented, but Wolfe is a bit too deus ex machina and by the time an earthquake shakes one of the characters free we are weary of his all too-artificial plot twists.
		The dandy man in his white suit, whose name dwarfs that of the title on the cover of the book, is an excellent salesman.

	The Village Voice: VLS: The White Stuff
		A Man in Full displays all the usual Wolfeian gifts: his rhetorical energy, his biting satirical eye, his head for research, and his ability to sketch a broad canvas.
		Just as in The Bonfire of the Vanities, then, the central conflict Wolfe treats in A Man in Full, the human drama that most invigorates his powers (and the personal demon he may have tried to slay by writing this juiced-up book) is that of a rich man in peril of losing everything.
		You might think that a man who wears custom-tailored suits and big riverboat- gambler hats might not devise the best fictional rap lyrics in the world— and you would be in this surmise entirely correct.

	11/23/98 NAILING THE '90s
		A Man in Full, Wolfe's new end-of-the-millennium novel, is a metaphorical counterweight to Bonfire.
		In a work that strives to skewer the full panoply of '90s commerce and politics, it feels odd to roam the hallways of banks, law firms, and city hall without meeting one female professional.
		Despite its comic heights and ample girth, in the end, A Man in Full is less than fully satisfying.

		Even on the verge of financial collapse, Charlie is a man full of pride, full of himself, and unwilling to accept the fact that his posh world is crumbling around him.

		It’s also done something believed to by political consultants to be impossible -- it’s taken the very qualities that undid Gore in 2000 and transformed them into the basis of his political comeback.
		The man charged with pedantry and didacticism, of never failing to give a lecture when a simple answer would do, of acting as if he were smarter than everybody else, is now starring in a film that makes a virtue of each of those one-time vices.

	A Man Full of Trouble Tavern
		At 125-127 Spruce Street is A Man Full of Trouble, the only tavern remaining from Colonial Philadelphia.
		It was built about 1759 on the banks of Little Dock Creek, (long since filled in and lost to view), in an area in which mariners, cordwainers and dockhands swarmed — and patronized this inn.
		Because it was a tavern with the intimacy and scale of an inn, A Man Full of Trouble had a different appeal from the grand houses we have visited.
