Praise for Sol Yurick and The Warriors: “Rage is the fuel that makes Sol Yurick’s fiction burn.”—New York Times “[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 1960s.”—The Guardian “It seems to me the best novel of its kind I’ve ever read, an altogether perfect achievement. I’m sure that to many it will sound like sacrilege but I have to say that I think it a better novel than Lord of the Flies.”— Warren Miller, author of The Cool World “Written powerfully enough to make you succumb to the distorted reality and values of these groups as you follow ‘the family’ on a brutal odyssey back to Coney Island . . . Raw, intense and perversely readable.”—Kirkus Reviews “The Warriors goes to the core of the heart of darkness.”—Flyer
