Library of Congress Cataloging-in-Publication Data Selby, Hubert. Requiem for a Dream: a novel ' by Hubert Selby, Jr. p. cm. ISBN 1-56025-248-0 FOREWORD When I was in high school, I thought you had to be dead to be a novelist—dead, and from somewhere else: England, the Midwest, France.
One of the more profound, if peripheral, epiphanies hitting me upon reading Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby, Jr., was that my working-class Bronx world was valid material for Art; that the voices, the streets, the gestures that I knew so well were as human, as precious, and as honorable as any found through the centuries and civilizations of literature.
