Items related to The Demon
Harry White is a man haunted by a satyr's lust and an obsessive need for sin and retribution. The more Harry succeeds, on the fast track to a good marriage and a well-paid corporate job, the more desperate he becomes, as a life of petty crime leads to fraud and murder and, eventually, to apocalyptic violence.

Selby's place is in the front rank of American novelists ... to understand his work is to understand the anguish of America. (The New York Times Book Review)

About the Author:
A major author of a stature with William Burroughs and Joseph Heller (Los Angeles Times)
Hubert Selby, Jr. was born in Brooklyn in 1928. At the age of 15, he dropped out of school and went to sea with the merchant marines. While at sea he was diagnosed with lung disease. With no other way to make a living, he decided to try writing: 'I knew the alphabet. Maybe I could be a writer.' In 1964 he completed his first book, Last Exit to Brooklyn, which has since become a cult classic. In 1966, it was the subject of an obscenity trial in the UK. His other books include The Room, The Demon, Requiem for a Dream, Song of the Silent Snow, The Willow Tree and Waiting Period. In 2000, Requiem for a Dream starred Jared Leto and Ellen Burstyn and was directed by Darren Aronofsky. Hubert Selby Jr died in Highland Park, Los Angeles, California in April 2004.
