Publisher Notes
With a new introduction by the author, this edition of a 1950s classic follows a teacher on his quest to reach a group of violent, rebellious New York City teenagers.
Media Reviews
"One of the forgotten great novels of the century...It remains a bitterly intelligent and compassionate portrait of ideals sobered by reality, marked by the quick dialogue and unremitting tension that distinguish his later 87th precinct stories."
