The New York Review Books list of resurrected clasics motors from strength to strength, and here it delivers an explosive find...Tarmac-tough dialogue and road-novel delinquent action is customised with a tender intensity about both friendship and sexual passion. Often savage, never cynical, Carpenter brings gold to the grit.

Whether we measure it by its influence on the lives of its readers, by the precision of its language, by the number of memorable sentences it contains, or by its sheer originality, it stands almost alone.
