Yglesias?s debut novel of youth, privilege, and rebellion.

Rafael Yglesias completed this novel, his first, at the age of sixteen. The largely autobiographical story follows a New York prep school dropout yearning for freedom and authenticity.

On its release the book was hailed as a next-generation Catcher in the Rye. But protagonist Raul Sabas comes of age in a very different New York than Holden Caulfield - a tumultuous and radicalized city following the student takeover of Columbia University and assassinations of Robert Kennedy and Martin Luther King, Jr.

Hide Fox, and All After is a story of adolescence written by an adolescent - deeply felt and commanding the remarkably perceptive eye that distinguishes Yglesias as a great novelist.
