| Publisher Description: In the tradition Huckleberry Finn and The Catcherin the Rye, Russell Banks's quintessential novel of adisaffected homeless youth living on the edge of society redefines theyoung modern anti-hero. . . . Rule of the Bone has its own culture andlanguage, and Bone is sure to become a beloved character for generations (SanFrancisco Chronicle).
