description: The first novel to articulate the rage and pain of life in "the other America," Last Exit to Brooklyn is a clasic of postwar American writing. Selby's searing portrait of the powerless, the homeless, the dispossessed, is a fiercely and frighteningly apposite today as when it was first published twenty-five years ago.
