#TomWolfe, the best-selling alchemist of fiction and nonfiction who wrote "The Bonfire of the Vanities," "The Right Stuff" and countless other novels and works of journalism, died of pneumonia in a New York hospital Monday. He was 88 years old.⠀
⠀
Mr. Wolfe was a creator of #NewJournalism, a bracing watershed in immersive reporting and visceral writing that removed the authorial distance and plunged readers into subcultures including the psychedelic enthusiasts in his 1968 work, "The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test." With "The Right Stuff," Mr. Wolfe wrote a generation-defining narrative documenting the early years of America's space program.⠀
⠀
In "The Bonfire of the Vanities," he cast a scorching lens on the mores of New York City’s philanthropists during the flush years of the 1980s. A number of years later, his novel "A Man in Full" examined race relations and swashbuckling property developers in the South.⠀
⠀
"You couldn't compete with him because he's incomparable," said Gay Talese, another pioneer of New Journalism.⠀
⠀
"He created words. There’s a whole language he started."⠀
