Tom Wolfe, whose legend began in journalism, takes us on an eye–opening journey that is sure to arouse widespread debate. The Kingdom of Speech is a captivating, paradigm–shifting argument that speech –– not evolution –– is responsible for humanity's complex societies and achievements. From Alfred Russel Wallace, the Englishman who beat Darwin to the theory of natural selection but later renounced it, and through the controversial work of modern–day anthropologist Daniel Everett, who defies the current wisdom that language is hard–wired in humans, Wolfe examines the solemn, long–faced, laugh–out–loud zig–zags of Darwinism, old and Neo, and finds it irrelevant here in the Kingdom of Speech. — ABOUT THE AUTHOR Tom Wolfe is the author of more than a dozen books, among them The Electric Kool–Aid Acid Test, The Right Stuff, The Bonfire of the Vanities, A Man in Full, I Am Charlotte Simmons, and Back to Blood. A native of Richmond, Virginia, he earned his B.A. at Washington and Lee University and a Ph.D. in American Studies at Yale.
