TOM WOLFE HUNTS THE BIGGEST OF PREY IN THE KINGDOM OF SPEECH: Over at Ed Driscoll.com, I have a lengthy review of Tom Wolfe’s latest (nonfiction) book, The Kingdom of Speech, in which Wolfe looks to do to Noam Chomsky – and Darwin – what he did to Leonard Bernstein, Walter Gropius, and Mies van der Rohe. It’s a fascinating book, a quick read, and very much deserving of plenty of re-readings – there’s a lot going on there.
