About the Author:
Hubert Selby Jr. was born in Brooklyn New York in 1928. After a career in the merchant marine cut short short by illness, he achieved interntational recognition for Last Exit To Brooklyn. His other novels include The Demon in 1976, The Willow Tree in 1998 and a collection of stories Song of the Silent Snow in 1986, all published by Marion Boyars.
Review:
Selby's best book * The TLS * A terrifying journey into the darkest corners of the psyche * Guardian * Selby deploys street slang, common speech, argot and scatology to create a high poetic art...it seems to derive from the greatest American poetry--Whitman, Pound, Williams, and Olson * The Nation * One must be grateful to Selby for his fatal vision and strong, original talent * Newsweek * 'Selby's place is in the front rank of American novelists ... to understand his work is to understand the anguish of America.' * New York Times Book Review * It's absolutely horrific ... but just about the most powerful novel I've ever read * The Times *
