Sobre IBD

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.
