Summary: The first chapter of Hubert Selby, Jr's classic, <em>Last Exit To Brooklyn </em>is many things: it's profane, violent and contains a number of racial slurs. But it's also a window into the gritty life on a Brooklyn street written by a man who had lived a horrible life and had come out the other side. In a powerful reading, actor John Turturro (<em>Do The Right Thing, Barton Fink, The Night Of) </em>transports us to those mean, grim streets. Also in the episode, guest host Lorin Stein, Editor of <em>The Paris Review</em>, talks to novelist and screenplay writer Richard Price about what it was about <em>Last Exit To Brooklyn</em> and Selby as a person that made him a fan.
