(Considerado el padre del "nuevo periodismo", corriente que propuso una técnica de investigación y de escritura de rasgos emocionales y literarios para narrar la realidad, Wolfe, de 78 años, consideró que, para él "la parte apasionante de escribir ha sido descubrir cosas que son importantes, pero que son sólo conocidas para unos pocos".)
