  Hubert Selby, Jr. Dies at 75 This is a bit unrelated, but I must comment. Hubert Selby was one of my favorite authors, if not my favorite. He wrote the book Requiem For A Dream , and his most famous Last Exit To Brooklyn . It makes me sad to think of a world without him. His dark imagery with which he wrote about "the other America," was totally unique and unrelenting. His jumbled writing style where speech was not separated from the narrative was brilliant and sparked more imagination than any other author. He was depressed much of his life, except while writing. He loved his craft. He died in his home with family by his side. Selby was afflicted with chronic pulmonary disease. He will be lost but not forgotten.
