THE PUNK is a novel, from 1977, written by Gideon Sams.

It has been unavailable for some time and is a great document of the times.

Originally, it was a school project and was disliked by the teacher. So it ended up in the bin.

It was rescued by the writer's mother and was eventually published by the ex-beatnik Jay Landesman.

This is mot the same old, same old. There are are hundred books on the clash and pistols. Most of them say the same things. Some quote from Nietzche.

This is a fictional account of the whole punk experience through the eyes of a kid. Written right in the middle of the whole zeitgeist.
