He's one of my favorite authors and the Room was by far the worst thing I have ever read in my life. Everything I've read by him has made me physically ill, but all his other works pale in comparison to this. I've had to literally put it down over a dozen times. Selby has this incredible ability to expose the underbelly of humanity, depravity we've done or thought but would never dream about articulating to others. If you've read American Psycho, but nothing by Selby, imagine that book being the bottom rung of a ladder that leads you to this.
From the reviews:
Uncompromising, stark, bleak, unremittingly repetitive, gruesome, sickening and despairing -- "
"I am giving this 5 stars not because I liked it, but because it succeeded in what it was trying to accomplish. A beyond disturbingly horrible nightmare of a read but brilliantly executed. "
"Truly haunting, disturbing, possibly Selby's most affecting work of fiction. This is my third Selby journey; every time I pick him up again, I find myself drawn down into the murky black pit of horrific reality he creates. "
This is the kind of shit I wish college students were made to read because it's literally triggering.

From the reviews:
Secluded in his remand cell, a small-time criminal surrenders himself to sadistic fantasies of hatred and revenge. Selby's second novel is a claustrophobic descent into the tormented soul of a man trapped in a loveless society.
"Devastating, and strictly for the most daring reader.
