Tom Wolfe, declared by some to be America’s greatest living writer, will appear as himself in an upcoming episode on The Simpsons. According to The New York Post, the author of such books as “The Bonfire Of The Vanities” (the title of which was used for season premiere Bonfire Of The Manatees) recorded his lines in Los Angeles and posed for photos to guide the animators. Wolfe says that The Simpsons is the only show he watches because it doesn’t have a laugh track. He said, “I feel like I finally made it.” Wolfe joins authors such as Stephen King, Thomas Pynchon, and Tom Clancy to lend their otherwise anonymous voices to the show. It is expected that his episode will appear as part of the current season beyond March.
