The author died at a Manhattan hospital on Monday after being hospitalized with an infection, The Guardian reports.
In addition to novels, Wolfe worked as a journalist. He coined the term "saturation reporting" to describe a technique in which he would spend long stretches of time with a subject in order to witness important moments taking place in their lives.
