Last Exit To Brooklyn

Description

Features such characters as: Harry, the strike leader, who during his weeks of power discovers something of his true nature; Tralala, who rejects the only love she is offered and sinks swiftly to the lowest level of prostitution; and Georgette, the 'hip queer' with pathetic aspirations to culture.

Reviews

Rowan writes: Hubert Selby Jrâ≢s tales of the seamier side of life in Brooklyn do not only give the reader a salacious trip into the underworld inhabited by his characters â≠they are also moving, and beautifully written in Selbyâ≢s much-imitated but unique style. Censored in England and Italy, Selbyâ≢s magnum opus, continuing the tradition of writers such as Genet, remains a necessary and startingly original work.
