In his spellbinding first novel, Wolfe proves that he has the right stuff to write propulsively engrossing fiction. Both his cynical irony and sense of the ridiculous are perfectly suited to his subject: the roiling, corrupt, savage, ethnic melting pot that is New York City. / Sherman McCoy, prestigioso bróker de Wall Street, se pierde por las calles del Bronx cuando trasladaba a su amante desde el aeropuerto Kennedy hasta su nido de amor. Este hecho desata un inmenso lío que pondrá en enormes dificultades jurídicas, matrimoniales e incluso económicas a nuestro protagonista. Su peripecia permite a Wolfe hilar una compleja trama que retrata con ironía y humor el universo que envuelve Nueva York, desde el refinamiento hipócrita de Park Avenue hasta las calles salvajes y sucias que rodean Manhattan, por donde también campan la mafia y las nuevas sectas religiosas. Ricos empresarios, artistas, traficantes, jueces, policías, periodistas... conforman una colmena que es la verdadera protagonista de la obra. Es la Nueva York de mediados de los ochenta, que desempeña «la función de la antigua Roma», y en la que las diferentes razas, etnias y minorías se rigen por sus propios códigos de conducta pero tienen un solo objetivo: obtener el control. El poder es mucho más importante que el dinero.
