Stylishly-Attired Wolfe: Exclamation Points and Nora Ephron

stylishly-attired wolfe: Wolfe's literary agent, Lynn Nesbit, told The Associated Press that he died of an infection Monday in a New York City hospital, according to CTV. Further details were not immediately available. He was 88. An acolyte of French novelist Emile Zola and other authors of realistic fiction, the stylishly-attired Wolfe was an American maverick who insisted that the only way to tell a great story was to go out and report it. His hyperbolic, stylized writing work was a gleeful fusillade of exclamation points, italics and improbable words. Along with Gay Talese, Truman Capote and Nora Ephron, he helped demonstrate that journalism could offer the kinds of literary pleasure found in books. (www.immigrantscanada.com).
