'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. What follows is a startling series of recollections and
fantasies that illuminate the workings of a prisoner's unhinged
mind. He yearns for his violent childhood, rages against obscure
authorities, and imagines enacting horrible revenge on those who
imprisoned him. The prisoner's remand cell becomes the scene of a
surreal mental torture. Disorienting, nightmarish and structurally
inventive, The Room is a shocking examination of the suffering
humans can inflict on each other.
