The writer pioneered New Journalism, a 1960s and 1970s literary movement characterized by colorful longform pieces written in a subjective voice. Wolfe was associated with other New Journalism writers like Hunter S. Thompson, Joan Didion and Truman Capote.

Later, Wolfe published his first novel, “The Bonfire of the Vanities,” in 1987, which was adapted into a film by Brian De Palma in 1990. He told CBS News that when he was starting out in his career, he was interested in fiction, but quickly found himself captivated by nonfiction.

“I started working on newspapers as soon as I left school — graduate school, actually. … I assumed when I first started working for newspapers, ‘Well, I’ll be a novelist one day.’ But I lost total interest in being a novelist, because this nonfiction was so exciting,” Wolfe recalled.

Wolfe covered a range of topics in his prose, from Ken Kesey and the Beat Generation in the 1968 nonfiction book “The Electric Kool-Aid Acid Test” to Cuban immigrants in Miami in 2012 novel “Back to Blood.” His last published book was 2016’s “The Kingdom of Speech,” which challenged society’s understanding of Darwinism.

In it, he argued that speech, not evolution, is responsible for humanity’s highest achievements. Wolfe slammed both Charles Darwin and linguist Noam Chomsky in the book. He laughed about his trademark “feistiness” in the book to CBS News and said, “Well, I just try to bring truth.”

In addition to his writings, Wolfe was also known for his foppish style and signature white suit, though in older age he swapped out tall collars for polo shirts.

In 2016, Wolfe told CBS News that he had five more books planned.

“To be honest, I have only five more planned. And one … coming up is on political correctness, which I think is the funniest subject in a long– in a long, long time,” Wolfe said.

This post has been corrected to reflect that Wolfe was 88 when he died, not 87.

Assad: I’m no “butcher,” I’m like a doctor who saves livesAssad: U.S. does not have “a single shred of evidence” of chemical weapons attackBashar Assad tells Charlie Rose U.S. should “expect every action” in response to Syria strikesComplete CBSNews.com coverage: Syria crisis The Syrian president again called on the U.S. and Congress to present hard evidence proving a chemical attack was launched within Syria and warned that a strike against Syria would only foster the growth of al Qaeda within his borders. “First of all, because this is the war that is going to support Al Qaeda and the same people that kill Americans in the 11 of September. The second thing that we all want to tell to the Congress, that they should ask and that what we expect, we expect them to ask this administration about the evidence that they have regarding the chemical story and the allegations that they presented,” Assad said. President Assad said he and the Syrian people are “disappointed” by President Obama’s behavior, and compared his foreign policy to that of former President George W. Bush. “We expected this administration [to be] different from Bush’s administration,” he said. However, “they are operating the same doctrine with different accessories. That’s it. We expect if…[this administration] to be strong to say that ‘We don’t have evidence, that we have to obey…the international law, that we have to go back to the security council at the United Nations.'” If he found himself face-to-face with President Obama, Assad told Rose, he would simply tell him:” “Present what you have as evidence to the public. Be transparent.” “He didn’t present because he doesn’t have have [it],” Assad said. “Kerry doesn’t have it.” Responding to Charlie Rose’s claims that evidence has been presented to Congress, including satellite footage and intercepted messages, Assad repeated several times, “nothing has been presented,” eventually adding that even if the U.S. did present seemingly credible evidence, he would doubt its veracity. “We have the precedent of Colin Powell ten years ago when he showed the evidence, it was false and it was forged,” Assad said. “You want me to believe American evidence and don’t believe the indication that we have? We live here.”
