Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jr.
Brendan's review
rating:
Selby has a writing style that reaches into your guts and punches you in the eye. His characters are vividly revealed in all their weathered layers, and the quick vernacular dialogue he uses pushes his stories along, forcing upon his readers an ominous quickening of the pulse. Last Exit to Brooklyn is among the first of Selby's many great works of fiction, and the author makes no pretense about his age and experience, but simultaneously, his understanding of the dark dimensios of human nature become apparent and instrumental even at the early stage of his career.
