«El bandido adolescente» is a novel by Ramón J. Sender published by Destino in 1997 (256 pages, in Spanish).
The novel reconstructs the life of William H. Boney, the young man known as Billy the Kid, and his early start in delinquency. Sender does not merely recount his misdeeds: he explores the psychology of the character and the social context of the West that turned him into a legendary outlaw, blending history and fiction with the aim of creating a human portrait.
For readers of historical novels and novelised biographies interested in the myths of the American West.
