In 2015 Michael Lewis (bestselling author of Moneyball, The Blind Side, and The Big Short) went to Long Island to meet his hero Tom Wolfe. The result of those trips was the Vanity Fair article How Tom Wolfe Became… Tom Wolfe, which chronicled Tom Wolfe’s amazing arc from small town life in Virginia to the pinnacle of journalism and literature in New York City.
Radical Wolfe is an official adaptation of that article, complete with interviews and analysis from contemporaries, and the first film to chronicle the most impactful, controversial writer in the latter half of the 20th century.
Due to unforeseeable circumstances, this event has been cancelled. The Film Society of Summit is in the process of reimbursing pre-purchased tickets.
