'It is quite an experience to be locked up all by yourself in any size room' says the anonymous narrator of Hubert Selby Jr.'s second novel. He yearns for his violent childhood, rages against obscure authorities, and imagines enacting horrible revenge on those who imprisoned him. What follows is a startling series of recollections and fantasies that illuminate the workings of a prisoner's unhinged mind.
Disorienting, nightmarish and structurally inventive, "The Room" is a shocking examination of the suffering humans can inflict on each other. The prisoner's remand cell becomes the scene of a surreal mental torture.
