Last Exit to Brooklyn is a 1964 novel by American author Hubert Selby Jr. The novel takes a harsh, uncompromising look at lower class Brooklyn in the 1950s written in a brusque, everyman style of prose. Critics and fellow writers praised the book on its release. Due to its frank portrayals of taboo subjects, such as drug use, street violence, gang rape, homophobia, prostitution and domestic violence it was the subject of an obscenity trial in the United Kingdom and was banned in Italy.

  • 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. (it)
