Rhino's Run

“Hot-button issues crowd the pages of Lipsyte’s latest, as an impulsive punch to a classmate’s jaw lands football co-captain Ronald “Rhino” Rhinehart in a mandatory therapy group … A jumbo package of provocative contemporary issues centered on an appealing protagonist.” — Kirkus Reviews“Veteran author Lipsyte delivers an empathetic story of a young man grappling with the complex modern world, where deadly violence has become an all-too-real possibility for people his age. … Exquisite character work combined with hard-hitting subject matter shows that some 60 years since his debut novel, Lipsyte has not lost a single step.” — Booklist (starred review)
