Tom Wolfe

Tom Wolfe was a journalist and author, known for his contributions to New Journalism and for coining the term 'radical chic' (or 'izquierda exquisita' in Spanish). He is newsworthy because his concept of 'radical chic,' introduced in 1970, is referenced in a recent article discussing the enduring nature of this social phenomenon, particularly in Europe. The article suggests that while the 'radical chic' may have evolved with different names and customs, its underlying essence persists. This highlights Wolfe's continued relevance as a social commentator whose observations remain applicable to contemporary society and political discourse. Another article mentions the development of new journalism, a term that was configured in the United States, decades after Manuel Chaves Nogales invented it.
