Last Exit to Brooklyn: A Novel (An Evergreen book)

â€œAn extraordinary achievement . . . a vision of hell so stern it cannot be chuckled or raged aside.â€â€”The New York Times Book Review
A classic of postwar American literature, Last Exit to Brooklyn created shock waves upon its release in 1964 with its raw, vibrant language and startling revelations of New York Cityâ€™s underbelly.Â Â The prostitutes, drunks, addicts, and johns of Selbyâ€™s Brooklyn are fierce and lonely creatures, desperately searching for a moment of transcendence amidst the decay and brutality of the waterfrontâ€”though none have any real hope of escape.Â Â Last Exit to Brooklyn offers a disturbing yet hauntingly sensitive portrayal of American life, and nearly fifty years after publication, it stands as a crucial and masterful work of modern fiction.Â Â This ebook features an illustrated biography of Hubert Selby Jr. including rare photos from the authorâ€™s estate.
