The Bonfire of the Vanities

"The Bonfire of the Vanities"
The Bonfire of the VanitiesBonfire's pyrotechnic satire of 1980s New York is "a miraculously realistic study of an unbelievably status-mad society, from the fiery combatants of the South Bronx to the bubbling scum at the top of Wall Street." Sherman McCoy, an arrogant investment banker (dubbed "Master of the Universe") hits a young black man in the Bronx with his expensive Mercedes and runs, consequently falling into a nightmare filled with vicious mistresses, slimy politicians, rabid tabloids, and a twisted justice system.
