In the tradition Huckleberry Finn and The Catcher in the Rye, Russell Banks's quintessential novel of a disaffected homeless youth living on the edge of society "redefines the young modern anti-hero. . . . Rule of the Bonehas its own culture and language, and Bone is sure to become a beloved character for generations" (San Francisco Chronicle). With a compelling, off-beat protagonist evocative of Holden Caulfield and Quentin Coldwater, and a narrative voice that masterfully and naturally captures the nuances of a modern vernacular, Banks's haunting and powerful novel is an indisputable—and unforgettable—modern classic.
