Tom Wolfe, the master social novelist, presents a sensational new novel about life, love, and learning in today's American colleges. Set at fictional Dupont University, the story follows beautiful and brilliant Charlotte Simmons, a sheltered freshman from North Carolina. Initially enchanted by the university's roseate Gothic spires and manicured lawns, Charlotte soon discovers that for the elite coeds, sex, coolness, and parties take precedence over academics. As she navigates the world of Dupont's privileged elite, Charlotte encounters her roommate Beverly, a Groton-educated girl obsessed with lacrosse players; Jojo Johanssen, a white basketball player facing competition from a talented black freshman; Hoyt Thorpe, a fraternity leader with a sense of entitlement; and Adam Geller, a member of the university's independent newspaper who believes in intellectual integrity amidst a hedonistic campus culture. Seduced by the allure of acceptance, Charlotte grapples with betraying her values and upbringing before realizing the strength of her individuality and the charm of her innocence. With his signature satirical wit and keen observational detail, Wolfe captures the essence of the early-21st-century college experience.
