Another review of the Wolfe documentary. The concluding paragraph:

While the documentary does a serviceable and enjoyable job of hitting the highlights of Wolfe’s lengthy career and his legendary idiosyncrasies, it’s at a serious disadvantage covering Wolfe’s actual prose. As with the movie versions ofThe Right Stuffand (especially) The Bonfire of the Vanities, Wolfe’s ultra-caffeinated writing style, while a joy to read, is impossible to capture on film, even, in the case ofRadical Wolfe,with Don Draper himself pitching in. (Perhaps the documentary makers thought they needed someone known for playing a Manhattan transplant with his own sartorial splendor to read Wolfe’s writing.) But at least Radical Wolfewill help get Wolfe’s writing and ideas back into the limelight. Lord knows a nation that’s nowhere near as stable as it was in 1980 could use them.
