Review of Hubert Selby Jr: It/ll Be Better Tomorrow (2006) by Virginia J — 22 Feb 2011

A really nice documentary on one of my favorite fiction authors, the film looks into Selby's incredibly difficult childhood. Getting an inside look at his life helped me quickly understand why his novels were filled with some of the most disturbing things I've ever read.

Thankfully, the film was made soon enough to include a good amount of interview footage with Selby himself, which is nicely fleshed out by the unique perspectives of his friends.
