From Wikipedia:
Mauve Gloves & Madmen, Clutter & Vine is a 1976 book by Tom Wolfe, consisting of eleven essays and one short story that Wolfe wrote between 1967 and 1976. It includes the essay in which he coined the term “the ‘Me’ Decade” to refer to the 1970s. In addition to the stories, Wolfe also illustrated the book.
First published in hardback by Farrar, Straus & Giroux in 1976 (with a jacket design by Janet Halverson), this is Corgi’s UK paperback edition, using the same design as Bantam in the US.
