El mundo de Charlie Croker se desmorona: en la cima del mayor imperio inmobiliario de Atlanta, solicita - en un arranque de megalomanía- un crédito bancario que después no puede pagar. Además, con 60 años -y una segunda esposa de 28- este hombre, hecho a sí mismo, detecta los primeros signos de la vejez. Acosado por la entidad bancaria que antes lo adulaba, Croker deberá recorrer un largo calvario durante el cual se verá vinculado a otros dos personajes: el abogado negro Roger White II, y el joven y estoico Conrad Hensley. Todo un hombre es una nueva radiografía de la sociedad estadounidense de manos de su autor, Tom Wolfe.

First Sentence
"FOR A WHILE THE FREAKNIC TRAFFIC INCHED UP PIEDMONT...inched up Piedmont...inched up Piedmont...inched up as far as Tenth Street...and then inched up the slope beyond Tenth Street...inched up as far as Fifteenth Street... whereupon it came to a complete, utter, hopeless, bogged-down glue-trap halt, both ways, northbound, southbound, going and coming, across all four lanes."
Work Description
A satire on America featuring a capitalist trying to avoid ruin. The hero is Charlie Croker of Atlanta whose plantation and skyscraper face repossession by banks for non-repayment of a loan. One way out might be to request leniency in return for hushing up a rape.
