«Todo un hombre» is Tom Wolfe's social satire novel, published by Círculo de Lectores in paperback (844 pages, in Spanish).
The novel follows Charlie Croker, an Atlanta real-estate magnate who sees his empire collapse after taking out a bank loan he cannot repay. At sixty, with a much younger second wife, Croker faces pressure from the financial institution while crossing paths with Roger White, an African-American lawyer, and Conrad Hensley, a young stoic. A biting critique of power, ambition, and decay in contemporary America.
Originally published in English as «A Man in Full» in 1998. This Spanish edition features a translation by Juan Gabriel López Guix.
Suitable for readers interested in lengthy novels of social realism and political critique, with a meticulous narrative style.
