: En la desolada área donde Nueva York se mezcla con los suburbios, los Orphans, con sus rápidos Fords y Chevys 'cubiertos de hielo, cuero y polvo blanco', se preparan para participar en juegos de combate mortales e intrincadamente estructurados. Es un mundo de violencia grotesca y horripilante, miedo, bravuconería y drogas, redimido en la mente de sus habitantes por códigos de honor, por intenciones caballerosas y por la pureza de su lucha por el poder, el dominio y el territorio. En este contexto, la heroína de 17 años, ingeniosa pero vulnerable, se enamora perdidamente de McKay, el presidente de 22 años de los Orphans. Su historia de amor está contada en contrapunto desesperado con las frivolidades líricas punk de las radios y los jukes.

Riassunto

The Night of the Wolf. On the Avenue in the bleak area where New York City blends into suburbia, the Orphans, their fast Fords and their Chevys 'coated by ice and leather and white dust', prepare to engage in deadly, intricately structured games of combat. It is a world of grotesque, horrifying violence, fear, bravado and drugs, redeemed in the minds of its inhabitants by codes of honour, by chivalrous intentions and by the purity of their struggle for power, dominance, territory. This is the setting of Alice Hoffman's unsparing and unsentimental novel. Her heroine, 17 years old, quick witted yet vulnerable, falls helplessly in love with McKay, the Orphan's 22 year old president and their doomed love story is told in desperate counterpoint to the punk lyrical flippancies of throbbing car radios and jukes.
