 Baltimore City Paper: ARTS Rumble, Young Man, Rumble   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-06)
For sure, Cavell's debut collection of fiction, Rumble, Young Man, Rumble, has been attended by a few comparisons to Mailer, Ernest Hemingway, and other tough-guy writers, and the resemblance, we are supposed to think, goes beyond the cauliflower ears.

Cavell no doubt understands men's life but, like others who are vaulted into public view because of their compelling biographies, he lacks the gravitas to give the issue serious treatment.
