Looks Like a Good Read

Tom Wolfe's latest novel, I Am Charlotte Simmons, tackles the moral decline at the American university. Here's an excerpt of a NY Times review ('Moral Suicide,' à la Wolfe):
    "Wolfe describes a society in which we still have vague notions about good and bad, virtue and vice, but the moral substructure that fits all those concepts together has been washed away. Everybody is left swirling about in a chaotic rush of desire and action, without a coherent code to make sense of it all."
