Review
“Filled with a kind of vitality. . . a remarkable account of New York City’s lower depths.”
–New York Times
"His terse wit, with its archly contrived naïveté, transforms The Basketball Diaries, a tale of teenage rebellion, into a contemporary classic."-
-Newsweek
“A generational hit.” –Esquire
