The Outsiders is a coming-of-age novel by S. E. Hinton published in 1967 by Viking Press.The book details the conflict between two rival gangs of White Americans divided by their socioeconomic status: the working-class "Greasers" and the upper-middle-class "Socs" (pronounced / ˈ s oʊ ʃ ɪ z / SOH-shiz—short for Socials).
The book, like Rumble Fish, takes place in Tulsa, Oklahoma, Hinton's hometown and the setting of her first book, The Outsiders.However, unlike Rumble Fish, Ponyboy Curtis, the main character in The Outsiders, appears in That Was Then, This Is Now and even takes part in the events surrounding the dance.
Since then, the book has sold more than 14 million copies. [8] In 2017, Viking Press stated the book sells over 500,000 copies a year. [3] Hinton's publisher suggested she use her initials instead of her feminine given names so that the first [11] male book reviewers would not dismiss the novel because its author was female.
The review aggregator website Book Marks reported that 10 of 14 critics gave The Outsider a "rave" review, while the remaining four expressed "positive" impressions, signifying that the novel received critical acclaim. [6]
