Representaion Toward Books The Wanderers

The Wanderers, a teen-age gang in the Bronx of the early Sixties, are just trying to stay alive--and maybe have a little sex. But it's not going to be easy. They're facing murderous parents, unimpressed girls, and all-Chinese gang and a pack of mute Irish maniacs, apathetic teachers, and a ten-year-old cold-blooded killer. Will The Wanderers be alive a week from now? Will the girls come across? This is fantastically powerful and funny fiction--psychological realism to a doo-wop beat.

"A deeply moving account of confused and spiritually underprivileged youth."
-- William S. Burroughs

"I haven't read a better fictional account of the dark side of the American dream in years."
-- John Fowles

Written when the author was twenty-four, this story was the basis for a major feature film.

Column Out Of Books The Wanderers

When I was in 9th grade or so, my big brother, who was two years older than I, bought this. I think it was a paperback original. Either way, his edition was a paperback and had a NATIONAL LAMPOON-style illustration on the cover. (The LAMPOON then had paintings of almost photographic realism. This cover was that sort of painting, showing a character in denim on an urban street.) My brother (who'd seen AMERICAN GRAFITTI five times in the theatre) loved it. He lived like the characters in the book.

This book seemed dated. It's a growing up story from the 60's but very violent. What's odd was families having both parents and sitting down to dinner together despite their rotten lives. Not the best work of Richard Price.

hmmm... i dont really know what to say about this book, it is hands down theeee most vulgar and what most will say disgusting! it was a very entertaining book about a young teenage gang growing up in the bronx. these kids deal with everything from trying to get laid to miget fights to getting a girl pregnat and a mother dieing. they go through these hardships together and i would say that they are true friends. they stick by eachother no matter what! i would have to say my favorite part was the

This a fantastic book. A story of Italian teens in the very early 60s Bronx.I've read it a few times, and enjoyed it each time. Whilst it's full of sex (or the quest for it) violence and boozing, it never glamourises these things, and has many poignant moments.There is a cycle of violent abusive fathers and downtrodden mothers, and you know for sure the lads will repeat this cycle as they grow into men themselves. The mark of good fiction is that you'd love to know what each character did next.

Dry characters, unbelievable situations. I really don't see how people could have enjoyed this.

i am rereading this book right now. i think i can honestly say that this is in the top 5 of my favorite books. a book so beautiful in its simplicity and in its story that i want to cry on every page and soak it down with my tears because it reminds me of growing up and it reminds me of what it was like being a kid with half a brain in a place where people wanted you to fight like dogs on a daily basis. where most people would rather see you die than make it anywhere west of harlem avenue. i

This one wasn't great. I did finish it, and it definitely has some merit - the character portraits can be incisive and that's kind of all this book is. The issue for me is that the author just lays out all that insight without any real skill or finesse. It's not earned. I'm not invested in the characters. It's hard enough to care about a bunch of teenage boys harassing people, date raping, and destroying their own friendships with a toxic masculinity they resent in their own fathers. Just
