Abstract

One night in the Bronx a millionaire, Sherman McCoy, and his mistress have an accident. The next day a young black is in hospital in a coma as McCoy heads for disaster. His humiliation is at the centre of a satire on the decaying class, racial and political structure of New York in the 1980s.
