Sobre este item
London: Calder and Boyars, 1966. First edition. Cloth. Very Good/Very Good. 8" by 5". None. The first UK edition of this exciting novel by Hubert Selby Jr. First UK edition, 1966. Originally published in 1964. The novel takes a harsh, uncompromising look at lower class Brooklyn in the 1950s written in a brusque, everyman style of prose. The stories are set almost entirely in what is now considered the Sunset Park section of Brooklyn; the location is widely misreported as Red Hook, where one story is set and parts of the 1989 movie were filmed. Last Exit to Brooklyn is divided into six parts that can, more or less, be read separately. Each part is prefaced with a passage from the Bible. Written by Hubert Selby Jr., an American writer and creative writing professor. In the original grey cloth binding. Externally, very smart with light bumping to the extremities and a small mark to the front board. Original unclipped dust wrapper also smart with light chipping to the extremities. Internally, firmly bound. Pages are very bright and clean with the odd handling mark. Very Good
Sinopse
Last Exit to Brooklyn is a 1964 novel by American author Hubert Selby, Jr. The novel has become a cult classic because of its harsh, uncompromising look at lower class Brooklyn in the 1950s and for its brusque, everyman style of prose. Although critics and fellow writers praised the book on its release, Last Exit to Brooklyn caused much controversy due to its frank portrayals of taboo subjects, such as drug use, street violence, gang rape, homosexuality, transvestism and domestic violence.
