The Room

"Locked away in his remand cell, a small-time criminal surrenders himself to sadistic fantasies of hatred and despair. This follow-up to Selby's best-selling cult classic, Last Exit to Brooklyn, offers a bleakly claustrophobic descent into the mind of a man trapped inside a pitiless world, cut off from all love and compassion. Violent, sickening and disturbed, The Room is an unforgettable and deeply shocking novel by one of America's most visionary writers."--BOOK JACKET.
