Lovely mid 60s hardback copy of Hubert Selby Jr.'s infamous everyman novel set in 1950s New York, 'Last Exit to Brooklyn', first published in 1964
Written in a coarse and casual language covering taboo subjects such as street violence, drug addiction, domestic abuse, and gang rape, the book takes an uncompromising look at lower class Brooklyn in the 50s. Selby wrote the prose naturally, as if it were a story told in a bar rather than a novel. At time of release, it was the subject of an obscenity trial in the UK, and banned in Italy...
