Tom Wolfe presents the fact like a story with dialogues,and scenes which make the truth more exciting. His technique of first persons point of view takes the reader deep inside his writing. "There is another girl in the back of the truck, a dark little girl with thick black hair, called Black Maria. She looks Mexican, but she says to me in straight soft Californian:
"When is your birthday?"
"March 2."
"Pisces," she says. And then: "I would never take you for a Pisces."
"Why?"
"You seem too . . . solid for a Pisces."
But I know she means stolid. I am beginning to feel stolid. Back in New York City, Black Maria, I tell you, I am even known as something of a dude. But somehow a blue silk blazer and a big tie with clowns on it and . . . a . . . pair of shiny low cut black shoes don't set them all to doing the Varsity Rag in the head world in San Francisco.
