OLDER FICTION
Lipsyte, Robert

Warrior Angel

(2) YA Although Sonny Bear (first introduced in The Chief) is a heavyweight champ, he's depressed and apathetic. The only person who seems to understand him is an e-mail correspondent who calls himself "Warrior Angel" and is actually a disturbed teenager who fantasizes that he will be able to "save" his idol. Lipsyte's intriguingly enigmatic lead characters and hard-edged prose continue to pack a punch.
