| | Hubert Selby, Jr. | Official Website and Bio |
 | | The Willow Tree, a long-awaited new novel, his first since 1978, was published in the spring of 1998, by the London-based house of Marion Boyars Ltd. Selby lives in Los Angeles, and is at work on an autobiographical novel, tentatively titled Seeds of Pain, Seeds of Love. |
 | | Everything that Herman Melville, that other great ex-seaman, and no stranger to Brooklyn, is held up to be in the pantheon of American literature, Hubert Selby, Jr., is. What Moby Dick was to Melville's century, Last Exit to Brooklyn is to ours, and between the two, Selby's is the better book. |
 | | If that be called heresy, know that it be called so only by those of the same dead mind as they who allowed Melville to die unknown. |
