The first novel to articulate the rage and pain of life in "the other America, " "Last Exit to Brooklyn" is a classic of postwar American writing.

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)
