Nick Tosches announces his death with a tribute at Selby's official website.
Hubert Selby died often. But he always came back, smiling that beautiful smile of his, and those blue eyes of his so full of life. This time he will not be back...
Selby was the author of Last Exit to Brooklyn, Requiem for a Dream, The Demon and The Room as well as other books. He taught at USC for more than 20 years.
