ReviewsPraise 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
