A Man in Full

Set in late-twentieth-century Atlanta, this gripping novel follows Charles Croker, a once-celebrated college football star turned conglomerate king, as he grapples with the harsh realities of his inflated ego and mounting debts. Meanwhile, Conrad Hensley, an idealistic young father, navigates the depths of the American legal system after losing his job. The narrative intertwines with the story of Fareek “the Canon” Fanon, a Georgia Tech football player accused of a serious crime, as upscale lawyer Roger White II works to maintain the fragile racial balance of the city amid a backdrop of illegal immigration and shady real estate dealings. This compelling work by Tom Wolfe captures the complexities of contemporary America with keen insight and vibrant storytelling.
