1967 novel by S. E. Hinton

The Outsiders is a coming-of-age novel by S. E. Hinton published in 1967 by Viking Press. The novel is set in Tulsa, Oklahoma, in the 1960s—although this is never explicitly stated in the book—and 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 SOH-shiz—short for socials). The story is told in first-person perspective by teenage protagonist Ponyboy Curtis.
