A few pieces here on Hubert Selby's fiction. I only know the film of Last Exit, but it's enough to orient myself to what Gil's got to say about Selby; and then there are the goodreads Selby readers you oughta pay some attention to, too.

Not to forget that Gil was also a poet. I sort of wish he hadn't been. His pieces on poets in this volume will be much more valuable to readers of poetry than they are to me.

Readers of fiction should always find themselves reading essays and reviews and interviews by writers of fiction. That's what I say. Gil warms my heart.
