Which retard at Macmillan Publishers decided to reprint this book with a cover that makes it look like a porno? 'I am Charlotte Simmons' is an incredible book but I can barely introduce it to people without them thinking I'm a pervert. Thank God that I got one of the copies with the original cover so I can put it on my shelf without people getting weirded out.

Why are some people so determined to tear up Tom Wolfe's legacy?

It's a 700-page book about early-2000s students at an elite college campus. Racial and intellectual conflicts get as much attention as the obligatory college hook-up sex. It's not a coomer book, which is why it's so annoying that it got reprinted with such a cover.-

"I like this book."
"Ooh, I dunno, anon. It has a cover that makes it look like a porno; you're probably a pervert, and I'm going to leave."
This is not how reasonable people would respond to you. You could even bring up how you think the cover is an annoying marketing ploy. Chill out.

This scenario is how it goes down if you're ugly, which I assume OP is.
