ABOUT THE ORIGINAL BOOK

The Bonfire of the Vanities by Tom Wolfe plunges into the high-stakes world of Sherman McCoy, a wealthy bond trader whose life unravels after a wrong turn leads to a fateful incident in the Bronx. Suddenly, his privileged existence collides with the harsh realities of the city, thrusting him into a maelstrom of media frenzy and legal battles. The novel sharply satirizes the social and racial divides of New York City in the 1980s, exploring themes of ambition, power, and the fragility of status when faced with public scrutiny and the complexities of the urban landscape.
