I want to know the answer to the following question:
When was 'Bonfire of the Vanities' published?
All the background I'm provided with is that "In the same article, the Reverend Al Sharpton (whose fictional analogue in the novel is "Reverend Bacon") asserts that "twenty years later, the cynicism of The Bonfire of the Vanities is as out of style as Tom Wolfe's wardrobe."". Is that enough to answer the question?
Answer: no
