Notes:
Set in Brooklyn, this novel depicts life amongst the junkies, hustlers, drag queens and prostitutes living there. The story follows a number of tranvestites, criminals and prostitutes who live on the edge of existence but yearn for more meaning in their lives. Hubert Selby Jr's debut novel took America by storm in 1964 and became the subject of a famous obscenity trial in London two years later.
This volume is No. 19 in The Independent's Banned Books series, an exclusive collection of 25 censored titles and literary landmarks.
