The Concrete Wilderness review by Jack Coulter
A mixed critique of The Concrete Wilderness by Tennie Airth and Jonathan Cape, praising the novel’s stylish prose and city imagery while noting uneven pace and uncertain commercial appeal. The story follows Archie Larsen, a boy drawn from rural roots into urban swarms, and the parallel tale of a hijinks driven kidnapping plot centered on modern megacity life. The review highlights vivid scenes of Sydney and New York, the dog Wolf, and a photographer Meanhin Hankey, with suggestions the work may be filmed and potential casting hints.
