Notably:It’s hilariously foolish that Trump is acting as though he has read Bonfire of the Vanities while in reality, who has read the best-selling book? Even while Tom Wolf’s books are amusing (he’s terrific at set pieces, but he’s not the Balzac or Zola type author he believed he was), they were the kind of blockbusters that people purchase or give to each other but never truly read. No snob can be. I dimly recall having read Bonfires. It was December 2012, according to the note in the book’s back. Although I marked out this piece on page 432 for some reason, its 660 pages did not make an impression. Sherman then came to the awful realization that all men eventually come to regarding their fathers. He became aware for the first time that the man in front of him was not an elderly father but rather a young man who was very similar to himself. He grew up and had a child of his own and, to the best of his ability and possibly out of love, took on the role of Being a Father in order to give his child something legendary and incredibly significant: a Protector who would keep a lid on all the chaotic and disastrous possibilities of life. And now, so long down the road, that boy, that talented actor, was elderly, frail, and exhausted. The idea of attempting to lift the Protector’s armor back onto his shoulders again made him feel more worn out than ever. As everybody who reads that paragraph should, it strikes to me that Trump would have benefited from reading it.

Kramer chose to seem calm and professional even though he was dying to see McCoy. In front of a room full of people who are aware that he is a rat heading wired to see his girlfriend, what does a rat look like while he is listening to himself being a rat? Kramer felt an unconscious but deep sense of relief. As much of a rat as any of the drug dealers he had wired up to go rat out their species was Sherman McCoy, this Wasp, this Wall Street aristocrat, this socialite, and this Yale man. McCoy was more of a rat, actually. One doper had low expectations of another. Honor, however, was obviously not a term to be taken lightly in these higher echelons, on these peaks of propriety and moralism, up in this stratosphere dominated by the pale, thin-lipped Wasps. However, with their back to the wall, they turned rat as fast as any criminal. He had been disturbed by Bernie Fitzgibbon’s remarks, so this was a comfort. What if the case hadn’t actually been thoroughly investigated? Before the grand jury, Maria Ruskin had supported Roland’s account, but he knew deep down that he had pushed her quite a little. He had quickly placed her in a tiny, cramped box, and she might have He did not want to complete the thought.
