Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast
"Stalking the Billion-Footed Beast" is an essay by Tom Wolfe that appeared in the November 1989 issue of ''Harper's Magazine'' criticizing the American literary establishment for retreating from realism.
== Background ==
After being serialized in ''Rolling Stone'' magazine, Wolfe's first novel, ''The Bonfire of the Vanities'' was published in 1987. Prior to the novel, Wolfe had made his career as a journalist and author of non-fiction books. Wolfe had been a pioneer of "New Journalism," a style of non-fiction that relied heavily on novelistic techniques such as the use of scene, dialogue, first-person point of view from the subjects of the stories and recording minute details of everyday routine.
In his novel, ''Bonfire of the Vanities'', Wolfe used many of the writing techniques in his journalism, but this time to tell what Wolfe called a "fictional novel" (though novel traditionally denotes fiction and is hence redundant, Wolfe's "New Journalism" was sometimes described as non-fiction novels). In addition, Wolfe set out in ''Bonfire'' to capture the spirit of New York City in the 1980s. The book was a commercial success, becoming a New York Times Bestseller and earning critical praise.
