Near Fine in a Very Good jacket, unclipped ($5.00), lightly toned, bumped at the top edge and with a tear at the top of the front panel. Quarter black buckram with red paper on the boards. Square and firmly bound, a small stain to the fore-edge, clean internally. Selby's novel of 1950s Brooklyn life, "where nothing matters except the precarious dollar and the pleasure of inflicting violence on someone weaker than oneself." Adapted into the 1989 Uli Edel film starring Stephen Lang and Jennifer Jason Leigh.
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.
