  • Ultima uscita per Brooklyn o Ultima fermata a Brooklyn (Last Exit to Brooklyn) è un romanzo dello scrittore statunitense Hubert Selby Jr, pubblicato per la prima volta nel 1964. Fu inizialmente bandito dal Regno Unito per oscenità ma diventò poi un romanzo di culto della letteratura underground americana. La storia è ambientata nel distretto di Brooklyn, New York, nel 1952 (durante la guerra di Corea), dove è in corso uno sciopero operaio. Durante lo sciopero si intrecciano le - spesso tragiche - storie di vari disadattati sociali che vivono nel quartiere. Dal romanzo nel 1989 è stato tratto un film, per la regia di Uli Edel, uscito in Italia come Ultima fermata Brooklyn. (it)
