An Atlanta real estate developer turned conglomerate king finds that his expansionist business interests, ambitions, and larger-than-life ego have dramatically met up with reality in this Tom Wolfe classic, A Man in Full.

Tom Wolfe was a New York Times bestselling American novelist and journalist that rose to fame with works like The Bonfire of the Vanities, The Right Stuff, I Am Charlotte Simmons, The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test, The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby, Radical Chic & Mau-Mauing the Flak Catchers, and many more groundbreaking novels, short stories and novellas. Tom Wolfe earned a Ph.D. in American studies from Yale and is one of the founders of the new journalism movement. In 1980, Tom Wolfe’s novels earned him the prestigious National Book Award, and he was a nominee two other times.

A Man in Full was Tom Wolfe’s second novel. The powerful story is about a real estate mogul facing ruin, his wife who desperately clings to her social standing, a man with a vested interest in his downfall, and a young black man who discovers stoic philosophy in prison. Their lives and stories merge to underscore the disparity of life in contemporary America, making Tom Wolfe an enduring figure in American literature. Michael Prichard is narrating this Audible audiobook, expertly bringing Tom Wolfe’s engrossing character development to life in breathtaking ways.

In late 2021, it was announced that A Man in Full would be made into a limited drama series for Netflix. The series is written by David E. Kelley, directed by Oscar winner Regina King, and will star Hollywood legend Jeff Daniels as Charlie Croker the Eternal.
