About This Book

A brutal and visceral exploration of 1950s Brooklyn's underbelly, featuring interconnected stories of social outcasts, violence, and despair. Selby uses an idiosyncratic, stream-of-consciousness style to portray lives defined by poverty and addiction. The novel remains a landmark of transgressive literature.
