<h1 class="article-header__title"><strong><a href="https://www.nationalreview.com/2018/05/tom-wolfe-legendary-writer-rip/">                                          The Great One</a></strong></h1>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>One of the most prolific, culture defining authors of our time is gone.</p>
<p>I read <em><strong>The Right Stuff</strong> </em>three times when I was in High School and then I began discovering his earlier works and am still reading them.</p>
<p>Thanks for all the stories and satire Mr, Wolfe, it was truly amazing.</p>
