Description
Last Exit to Brooklyn, a notorious masterpiece by Hubert Selby Jr., is a novel that has sparked intense debate and controversy. The book tells the stories of New Yorkers who confront the darkest aspects of human nature, yet also reveals moments of profound tenderness.
These characters, including a transvestite, a prostitute, and a strike leader, are unforgettable and complex, with their own unique struggles and desires. The novel's exploration of the human condition has been both praised and condemned, with some considering it a work of hellish and obscene fiction.
First published in 1964, Last Exit to Brooklyn has become a cult classic, with its reputation growing over time. This Penguin Modern Classics edition includes an introduction by Irvine Welsh, providing further insight into the author's work and its enduring impact.
