Mind Over Midnight : Last Exit to Brooklyn

We’ll dive into Hubert Selby Jr.’s Last Exit to Brooklyn, a novel that drags us through the raw, unvarnished underside of urban America. Selby’s fractured, violent, deeply human stories offer a portrait of desperation, addiction, sexuality, and survival in a world that offers no mercy and even less hope. His experimental prose forces us to confront the chaos of lives lived at the edge. As we meet, we’ll examine whether Selby’s brutality exposes a hidden truth about society’s failure, whether the novel’s relentless darkness leaves us with more questions than answers. Bring your thoughts, your instincts, and your willingness to stare into the abyss.
