"This documentary is a harrowing and engaging exploration into the life and art of the renowned author Hubert Selby Jr. Selby, against all odds, overcame tuberculosis, drug addiction and financial ruin to reach international acclaim with his controversial novels. His canon of work represents seven of the most remarkable and distinctly American books ever written. His novels Last Exit to Brooklyn (banned upon release in England) and Requiem for a Dream both went on to become major motion pictures and gain literary respect worldwide. This DVD documentary details the man behind the story." DVD extras: over three hours of audio interviews with Hubert Selby, Jr., literary critic Michael Silverblatt and Last Exit... director Uli Edel. Running time: 79 minutes, English, Letterbox, Dolby Digital 2.0, Region 1, NTSC format.
