It's been a long way from The Kandy-Colored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby to tackling the Great American Novel for Tom Wolfe. Granted, that journey hasn't been especially easy for the 81 year-old New Journalism icon, but he's always been quite happy interpreting the American experience from the outside. Wolfe's newest observations take on the immigration theme and the Cuban-Americans community dominating the scene in Miami. Back to Blood hit the market last week. There's been plenty of chatter about the book over the past six months, but this article reprinted from New York Magazine, is a pleasing blend of biography and book. Enjoy
