Sol Yurick

The night of July 4. Teenage violence runs wild through the streets, exploding with firecrackers and patriotic celebration. In the Bronx, the police move in to break up a citywide convention of gang leaders. Whistles, shots, pounding nightsticks, and suddenly, six members of "the Family" - the Coney Island Dominators - are alone on enemy terrain. Their desperate flight back to their native turf is a journey filled with murder, rape, and subway mayhem that will leave the awestruck reader at a new station of awareness.

The Warriors

Warriors

1965, Sol Yurick publie son premier roman, The Warriors, périple nocturne d’un gang de jeunes tentant de rejoindre Coney Island depuis le Bronx après l’assassinat de leur leader révolutionnaire. Quinze ans avant son adaptation au cinéma devenue culte (Les Guerriers de la nuit), The Warriors est une oeuvre unique dans l’histoire de la littérature américaine. Loin des chroniques édulcorées sur la délinquance juvénile façon West Side Story, Sol Yurick offre un puissant témoignage sur une jeunesse tribale dont la violence laissa l'Amérique florissante des sixties abasourdie. C’est ce livre radical, dérangeant, écrit tel un western urbain homérique et réaliste, que Façonnage ressuscite aujourd’hui, dans une traduction  inédite signée Julien Besse, et une édition augmentée avec préface du réalisateur Walter Hill.

Publications Relating to Sol Yurick

Sol Yurick’s cult novel, originally published in 1966, blasts the American judicial system and society in general. It was called ‘one of the fiercest and most effective satires to come out of America in a decade’ by The Spectator. Although written before his debut published novel The Warriors (1965), like that work, Fertig was eventually made into a movie—The Confession (1999) starring Ben Kingsley. It is now available for the first time in over three decades.
