  Waiting Period

  • Man's inhumanity
  • Hubert Selby Jr.'s world is one of violence and hatred, in one word, of `homo homini lupus' (e.g., Last Exit to Brooklyn, the Pusher trilogy). It is a world for loners.
    
    In this book, the...

  • Fantastically uninspiring!
  • This book had the makings of something, at the absolute least, interesting:

  • Decent, but monotonous
  • Once again, after reading "Last Exit" and "Room," I expected great things from Selby, but "Willow Tree" is not on par with the others. It has a solid storyline filled with terrible events and...

  • Deserves better than the Kirkus Review
  • Okay, let's face it. *The Willow Tree* isn't Selby's finest novel. *Last Exit to Brooklyn* remains his masterpiece, followed closely by *Requiem* and *The Room*. This latest story tends to be a...
