I think of it this way: no Tom Wolfe, no Bonfire of the Vanities, no Brian de Palma-filmed version of Bonfire of the Vanities, no The Devil's Candy: The Bonfire of the Vanities Goes to Hollywood, Julie Salamon's absolutely stellar 1992 book covering the production of said film start to stop, in doing so not only providing a general snapshot of time and place but an all too perfectly telling meditation on power, structural bias, sexism and much more in Hollywood. So even if he hadn't done anything else in his career, Tom Wolfe and his damned white suits brought some good to the world.
