The Kandy-Kolored Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby is the title of
Tom Wolfe's first collected book of
essays, published in 1965. The book is named for one of the stories in the collection that was originally published in
Esquire magazine in 1963 under the title "There Goes (Varoom! Varoom!) That Kandy-Kolored (Thphhhhhh!) Tangerine-Flake Streamline Baby (Rahghhh!) Around the Bend (Brummmmmmmmmmmmmmm)…" Wolfe's essay for
Esquire and this, his first book, are frequently heralded as early examples of
New Journalism.
