here is a picture
of present day New York City which
is overwhelming in its force and originality.

It is the story of a group of young men
and the hungers and frustrations that drive 
them from girl to girl, from job to job -
and which turns the city into a battleground
of human frailty, with no holds barred.

A picture of suffering, squalor, and injustices: Richard Wright's account of his childhood makes painful but absorbing reading.

-Peter Quennell: DAILY MAIL

It is a distressingly truthful account of the life of a Negro boy...One of the few books I've read that I know I shall never forget.

-NEW STATESMAN

This is a grim book - it's bound to be, because it gives you the human aspect of a terrifying problem.

-B.B.C. BROADCAST

The best review of Black Boy would be in two words: 'Read it.' A record of loneliness, bewilderment and poverty.

Smashing, looting, killing, loving-

the teenagers take over all Britain

'a shattering sensational novel...a real original'

DAILY EXPRESS

The adults have committed suicide with Easyway pills, and the teenagers have taken over. Free to smash, loot and love as they like, the gangs roar through the streets on their expendable 

brand-new motorcycles in search of disappearing stocks of lipstick, petrol and food. Free of adult control the youngsters commit every sin but hypocrisy...until they meet the future.

'Grim and often macabre, this contemporary fantasy has a vigorous fertility of invention, rattling pace and dialogue that crackles with vitality'

Now there are 'BOOT BOYS'

Tom grinned, bringing his fist down with a chopping motion on the back of the United fan's neck. He felt the blow jar his muscles. He kicked as the man slumped.

Then the boots went in - hard. Muffled moans lost themselves in the frantic chanting from the terraces.

"Boot Boys! Boot Boys!"

THE BEAT GENERATION

is especially the story of rich, young Stan Belmont, who had known every thrill. Now his only kick was - rape.

THE BEAT GENERATION
