Selby, Hubert, Jr. (1928– ) writer; born in New York City. He studied for one year at Peter Stuyvesant High School, and joined the merchant marine (1944–46). He became an insurance analyst (1950–64), before becoming a writer of short stories and novels. Based in Los Angeles, he is best known for his first collection of short stories, Last Exit to Brooklyn (1964). Due to the book's graphic sexual content, it was banned in Italy and an obscenity trial was held in England, but eventually Selby came to be praised as a social critic and potent stylist.
