      This is one of the rare books which really show individuals as they are and not some romantic notion of the anti-hero. The book centers on street kids who often find themselves in trouble with the authorities or with each other. Any thought of these kids as being victims is at most incidental and misses the point on how these people see themselves. The main character Bruno Bicek saw himself as a future boxing championship and a straight up guys, having served time in jail instead of ratting out his friends despite the fear of doing 6 months of hard labor. In going against formal law, he decided to follow street law instead which at times seem to have more stringent rules those imposed by legal authorities. While Bruno is going through the legal system, he also is forced to deal with the feeling of guilt in letting his girlfriend get gang raped by some of the neighborhood crowd which eats at him far more than feeling of betrayal. Nelson Algren successfully takes the reader into the head of Bruno to expose his humanity.
