A tale of four people trapped by their addictions, the basis for the
acclaimed Darren Aronofsky film, by the author of Last Exit to
Brooklyn. Sara Goldfarb is devastated by the death of her husband. She
spends her days watching game shows and obsessing over appearing on
television as a contestant—and her prescription diet pills only
accelerate her mania. Her son, Harry, is living in the streets with
his friend Tyrone and girlfriend Marion, where they spend their days
selling drugs and dreaming of escape. When their heroin supply dries
up, all three descend into an abyss of dependence and despair, their
lives, like Sara’s, doomed by the destructive power of drugs.
Tragic and captivating, Requiem for a Dream is one of Selby’s most
powerful works, and an indelible portrait of the ravages of addiction.
This ebook features an illustrated biography of Hubert Selby Jr.
including rare photos from the author’s estate.
