Product DescriptionRun a Quick Search on "Raw Rumbles" by Hal Ellson to Browse Related Products:Browse more products related to "Raw Rumbles"Browse more products related to "Hal Ellson"Publisher's noteCollects three classic novels by the comparatively obscure pop culture writer, in an omnibus that reflects his explorations of urban youth violence, gang psychology, and the environmental factors that promote gang activity. Original. AnnotationJuvenile delinquent fiction is today largely the domain of collectors and scholars of pop culture, but Hal Ellson was, in his day, a phenomenally successful writer. While contemporaries like David Goodis and Jim Thompson have been the subjects of glowing critical reassessments, Ellson has languished in obscurity, mostly due to the (admittedly) salacious nature of his work. More often than not, readers feverishly turned the pages for Ellson's vivid descriptions of drugs, gangs, crime, rumbles, hot rods, and hot lovin' -- his potent insight into the lives of urban youth often went unnoticed. This long-overdue anthology contains three of Ellson's most famous novels: "Duke, Tomboy," and "The Knife." Read today, the novels capture the reader's attention with their willingness to explore the mental conditions of gang members and the environmental conditions that cause gangs to flourish while eschewing the easy answers and grossly simplified sociology of preachy message novels.
