一部关于美国的讽刺小说，讲述了一位资本家竭力避免破产的故事。主人公是来自亚特兰大的 Charlie Croker，他的庄园与摩天大楼因无力偿还贷款而面临被银行收回的困境。摆脱危机的一条出路，或许是以掩盖一起强奸案为筹码来换取宽限。

这取决于你喜欢什么，但在读过他所有的长篇作品后，我坚信就“小说本身”而言，《完美的男人》是他最棒的小说。从写作技艺上说，这是他的巅峰之作。而从另一个角度看，《虚荣的篝火》（The Bonfire of the Vanities）则是最具沃尔夫风格的一本——它是所有作品中最不可能……
It depends on what you like, but having read all his full length books, I’m firmly of the opinion that A Man in Full is the best novel qua novel. In terms of craftsmenship it’s his masterpiece. On the other hand, Bonfire of the Vanities is the most Wolfian of the books—it’s the book that most of any of them could not…
……顺便说一句，古登堡计划（Project Gutenberg）上能找到。篇幅很短，很多内容在今天其实已经过时了，但令人惊讶的是，依然有许多章节能“引起我们的共鸣”。4. 顺便提一下，汤姆·沃尔夫（Tom Wolfe）的鸿篇巨著《完美的男人》（A Man in Full）通篇都洋溢着斯多葛主义的主题。我觉得斯多葛主义相当有智慧，当你剥离掉那些陈腐的迷信成分后，它依然干货满满（相比之下，比如亚伯拉罕诸教就做不到这点）。当然……
…available on Project Gutenberg, btw. It's very short, and many things are not really relevant today anymore, yet surprisingly many sections still "speak to us". 4. Note also that Tom Wolfe's huge novel "A Man in Full" is suffused with Stoic themes. I find Stoicism quite wise, and still substantial enough when you subtract all the obsolete superstition (which cannot be said of, for example, Abrahamic religions). Certainly…
……那个角色是个律师，他把排队走进法院后门的囚犯形容为“饲料”，意思是喂给体制机器的饲料。我永远忘不了这段。而且，对于任何在亚特兰大长大的人来说，沃尔夫的《完美的男人》里充斥着那种南方本地人最爱看的自省式讽刺，看得人欲罢不能。
…character, a lawyer, described the line of prisoners going into the back of the courthouse as "chow," as in chow for the system. I'll never forget that. Also, for anyone who grew up in Atl, Wolfe's book "A Man In Full" drips with the kind of delicious look-in-the-mirror satire home grown Southerners love.
汤姆·沃尔夫写过一本叫《完美的男人》的书，里面有个非常类似的角色。他说那些曾经阔过的人，对私人飞机的执念比其他任何东西都要深。他们甚至为了躲避债务催收，不惜伪造假机票存根……
Tom Wolfe wrote a book called "A Man in Full" that had a very similar character. He said that the formerly wealthy hang on to their private jets harder than anything else. They even went as far as creating fake airline stubs for debt collection…
我很难想象亚马逊仓库的工作会比其他仓库糟糕多少。这让我想起了汤姆·沃尔夫在《完美的男人》里对康拉德·亨斯利（Conrad Hensley，加州奥克兰人）这个角色的描写。他的仓库工作就非常糟糕，整个人都被逼到了悬崖边缘。
It is hard for me to imagine that Amazon warehouse jobs are much worse than other warehouse jobs. This reminds me of Tom Wolfe's telling of the character Conrad Hensley (of Oakland, CA) in A Man in Full. His warehouse job was pretty bad and he was on the ropes.
不对，新一轮斯多葛主义热潮其实可以追溯到汤姆·沃尔夫1998年的畅销书《完美的男人》。https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Tom-Wolfe-s-Book-A-Man-i...
No, the new wave of popularity for Stoicism can be traced back to Tom Wolfe's 1998 bestseller, A Man in Full. https://www.sfgate.com/news/article/Tom-Wolfe-s-Book-A-Man-i...
