“You wanna screw the sandwich?” he asked snidely as he started on his pepper and egg one. So swinging by the beef place was the least he could do. I’d even broken up a fight over ketchup between a native and an out-of-towner while I was there and still managed to deliver the goods. The day before, on our way to the same stakeout, I’d stopped and gotten him hot dogs at Budacki’s-Polish with the works, just how he liked it. No amount of grumbling was going to get in the way of my happiness. “This better be worth the long drive outta the way,” Ian groused. Just opening it up, with the smell that came wafting out… I was salivating. It could be argued that an Italian beef sandwich with sweet peppers was not, in fact, a gourmet meal, but anyone who said that had obviously never had one. I hated stakeouts they were so boring, and I tended to use them as an excuse to eat good instead of the alternative. Since we were out in Elmwood, where we never were, I’d begged and pleaded with Ian to stop at Johnnie’s Beef and buy me a sandwich before we got to the house we were sitting on. I COULDN ’ T control the whimper of delight.

But it was not bravery in the simple sense of being willing to risk your life. In Wolfe's words, the book is about something the astronauts and pilots would never address or discuss directly, even amongst themselves: "courage." Wolfe became fascinated with that righteous stuff coursing through the veins of young fighter jocks, the thing that incites a person to "hang your hide out over the edge with a little class." As to just what this ineffable quality was… well, it obviously involved bravery. Play icon The triangle icon that indicates to play But The Right Stuff is about much more than aerospace history. Names like Chuck Yeager, Alan Shepard, Gus Grissom, and John Glenn will be immediately familiar to any spaceflight and aviation enthusiast. On the surface, 1979's The Right Stuff is about the first American astronauts, men hand-selected from a pool of military fighter jet pilots to race against the Soviets and conquer the heavens. But around here, one book stands out among the rest: The Right Stuff. One of the fathers of New Journalism, a literary style that embraces a subjective perspective and lofty prose, Wolfe penned dozens of books during his lifetime, including an as-if-firsthand account of Ken Kesey and his band of Merry Pranksters in The Electric Kool-Aide Acid Test and the fictional social satire of 1980s New York City in The Bonfire of the Vanities. Tom Wolfe, the renowned journalist and author who famously employed literary techniques, excitable punctuation, and razor-sharp wit in his nonfiction work, passed away Monday at age 88.

The horror is present from the very first page and grows as our characters are consumed by the eerie atmosphere. In turn, she builds her paragraphs carefully, each utterly readable sentence teeming with choice turns of phrase and description. They’re the kind of sentences that other writers get jealous of, and I’m course including myself in that generalization.
