"An extraordinary achievement . . . a vision of hell so stern it
cannot be chuckled or raged aside."--The New York Times Book Review
"As dramatic and immediate as the click of a switchblade
knife."--Los Angeles Times "The raw strength and concentrated power
of Last Exit to Brooklyn make it one of the really great works of
fiction about the underground labyrinth of our cities."--Harry T.
Moore "Last Exit to Brooklynshould explode like a rusty hellish
bombshell over America and still be eagerly read in a hundred
years."--Allen Ginsberg "Drops like a sledgehammer. Emotionally
beaten, one leaves it a different person--slightly changed,
educated by pain, as Goethe said."--The Nation "Selby has an
unerring instinct for honing our collapse into novels as glittering
and as cutting as pure, block, jagged glass."--Saturday Review
"Scorching, unrelenting, pulsing."--Newsweek "The marriage of
brutal street life and gorgeous bebop prose." --Richard Price, from
his "My Five Most Essential Books," published in Newsweek (April
13, 2009)
