Cult 1960's novel which inspired legendary 1979 movie The Warriors, now in a handsome Serpent's Tail classic edition
Sol Yurick was born in New York, and lived in the city for the rest of his life. He worked as an investigator for the city s department of welfare. He was a lifelong social activist and published three novels. He died in 2013.
Sol Yurick...was too radical, too extreme and too violent for the
respectable literary establishment of New York, yet no writer more
fully embodied the city's anguished spirit in the 1960's

The best novel of its kind I've read. An altogether perfect
achievement. I'm sure that to many it will sound like sacrilege but
I have to say I think it a better novel than Lord of The Flies.
