Moore <p/>"<i>Last Exit to Brooklyn</i>should explode like a rusty hellish bombshell over America and still be eagerly read in a hundred years."--Allen Ginsberg <p/>"Drops like a sledgehammer. Emotionally beaten, one leaves it a different person--slightly changed, educated by pain, as Goethe said."--<i>The Nation</i> <p/>"Selby has an unerring instinct for honing our collapse into novels as glittering and as cutting as pure, block, jagged glass."--<i>Saturday Review</i> <p/>"Scorching, unrelenting, pulsing."--<i>Newsweek</i> <p/>"The marriage of brutal street life and gorgeous bebop prose." --Richard Price, from his "My Five Most Essential Books," published in <i>Newsweek</i> (April 13, 2009)<br><br>
