10 Things I Learned: Rumble Fish

• 10 Things I Learned: Rumble Fish

  By Curtis Tsui

  Before Rumble Fish became a novel, S. E. Hinton wrote an early version of it as a short story, which was published in 1968 in the University of Tulsa literary magazine, Nimrod. Two details were inspired by her pets: the title alludes to a Siamese fighting fish she once owned, and the protagonist is named after her cat Rusty-James.
