Sobre este artículo
Selby's dark masterpiece, which was the basis of the 1989 Uli Edel film starring Jennifer Jason Leigh. Street gangs, severe loneliness, and sheer human cruelty are the scourges of the Brooklyn of this novel, not celeriac-based entrees or text neck.
Sinopsis
Last Exit to Brooklyn is a 1964 novel by American author Hubert Selby, Jr. The novel has become a cult classic because of its harsh, uncompromising look at lower class Brooklyn in the 1950s and for its brusque, everyman style of prose. Although critics and fellow writers praised the book on its release, Last Exit to Brooklyn caused much controversy due to its frank portrayals of taboo subjects, such as drug use, street violence, gang rape, homosexuality, transvestism and domestic violence.
