"There was that generation of writers: William Burroughs, Henry Miller, and there was Hubert Selby. And he's one of the last of that generation, of some of the greatest writers in this country."

RIP Hubert Selby

I remember how little response there was to George Plimpton's death, and he was like, on TV a lot and stuff.
