Based on the same style of detailed, on-scene, high-energy reporting that powered Tom Wolfe’s previous best-selling novels, Bonfire of the Vanities and A Man in Full, Back to Blood is another reckoning, this time set in Miami. The story focuses on the hot-button issue of immigration, featuring characters of Cuban, Haitian, Russian, and French ancestry thrown into situations rife with racial anxieties.

In conversation with Paul Holdengräber, Wolfe will discuss Back to Blood and the issues that abound in a melting-pot city like Miami, as well as how weaving journalism and fiction together calls attention to real issues in ways that objective reporting cannot.
