Description: No Stock Photos! We photograph every item. 732 pages; light edge wear; Bold, caustic and hilarious, "A Man in Full" spares no one as Wolfe dissects the insatiable greed, vanity and hunger for bearings that characterize today's USA. The setting is Atlanta, Georgia - a racially mixed, late-century boom-town full of fresh wealth, avid speculators and worldly-wise politicians. The protagonist is Charles Croker, once a fabled college football star, now a late-middle-aged Atlanta real estate entrepreneur-turned-conglomerate king whose expansionist ambitions and outsize ego have at last hit up against reality. Charlie has a 28, 0000-acre quail-shooting plantation, a young and demanding second wife - and a half-empty tower downtown with a staggering load of debt.
