READINGS

VINTAGE WOLFE Author Tom Wolfe celebrates Picador’s reissue of his classic first novel as part of the “Upstairs at the Square” series presented by Barnes & Noble Union Square. Argentinean composer and pianist Fernando Otero performs and joins Mr. Wolfe in a conversation moderated by journalist Katherine Lanpher. When it was published in 1987, “The Bonfire of the Vanities” was held up as the ultimate satire of the “Me Decade.” Going from Wall Street to the mean streets of New York City, Mr. Wolfe captures comically and cynically the similarities among that era’s social climbers, ruling class, and underprivileged. Thursday, 7 p.m., Barnes & Noble Union Square, 33 E. 17th St. at Union Square, 212-253-0810, free.
