Distressful, fiercely impressive novel...if his story is painful, it is so burningly and compassionately alive, so sure in characterisation, so unflinching in its posing of a bitter problem, that it demands to be read

-VANITY FAIR

Often it is brutal and sordid in a manner which cannot be paralleled in Europe, but it also offers poetry and humour

-TIMES LITERARY SUPPLEMENT

The tragedy of David, who envied the white man's wealth and sought to achieve parity by crime, is played out against an inclusive background of squalor and disillusionment

The gang wore black leather jackets and called themselves The Psychos. They rode their roaring motorcycles and loved their women hard and fast. Jenny loved being loved. By Chuck Ryan, by big Red Ahearn, by the gang who made her their queen. By sixteen, Jenny had been loved more than most adults are in a lifetime. But a lifetime, Jenny discovered, while racing through hers in a few fast months, was barely long enough to give one man what no girl could give while being gang-loved....

Here is Braly's second novel. It is laid in San Francisco by night, where people, narcotics and jazz flow together and melt into the smoky blue world of North Beach by night...

"Braly has the true attributes of the novelist: he thinks honestly about people, and writes about them with an unstressed absolute realism which exposes most of the toughly 'realistic' writers as naive romantics."

This is the odyssey of the Beat Generation, the frenetic young men and their women racing furiously across America to wherever life is fastest, where girls are hottest, parties wildest, 'bop' is to be heard, marijuana to be smoked, or a road to be taken at ninety plus-a neuritic hunger for Sensation and Experience.

MOVIE TIE-IN

The boys on the bikes.

The boys who do a ton on the by-pass.

Aimless, lawless, sometimes cowardly and vain, they spend a packet on their clothes and hair-styles.

Working-class boys with big wages, and nothing much to do with their money.

This is the story of two of them, Dick and Reggie.

Reggie was the married one-he was only seventeen when he got tied up and just didn't know what it was all about. He left his wife and went to stay with Dick, and the relationship that developed between them was just too hot to handle.

This is a book with a vicious kick to it. Here are the problems of delinquent youth which growl and grumble under the facade of our society, threatening to blow it sky-high. You have read about these boys in the newspapers; this book takes you right there with them; under their leather jackets-under their skins.
