Reviews"Selby's place is in the front rank of American novelists. His work has the power, the intimacy with suffering and morality, the honesty and moral urgency of Dostoevsky's. To understand Selby's work is to understand the anguish of America."-- The New York Times Book Review

  • Great story about The descent into Addiction

    The denial of the disease of addiction leads into jails institutions and death.... death of all your dreams. I just kept hoping someone would save them!
