The Wanderers is the urban war song of a teenage gang living in a Bronx housing project in the early 1960s. Written when Prince was only 25, the novel reveals a passionate and penetrating insight into urban love and terror. "Not since Last Exit to Brooklyn has dialogue been so accurately reproduced in artistic format. A deeply moving account of confused and spiritually underprivileged youth" (William S. Burroughs). It is the basis for the 1979 film by Philip Kaufman.
