“Not since Last Exit to Brooklyn has dialogue been so accurately reproduced in artistic format. A deeply moving account of confused and spiritually underprivileged youth.” —William S. Burroughs

The master of dialogue, spoken on any street in every borough of New York, Richard Price’s debut novel is the urban war song of a teenage gang living in a Bronx housing project in the early 1960s. This first edition and printing, signed by the author, is in excellent condition.
