Can a person live if, according to doctors, he should have died long ago? Is it possible to become a classic of literature without receiving higher education or even graduating from school? Is it possible to become world famous after the publication of your first book? Hubert Selby answered all these questions in the affirmative. Having become disabled at the age of 18, Selby not only lived despite all the doctors’ predictions, but also began to write books that rank with the works of Herman Melville and Joseph Heller. The novel “Glitch” is a shocking narrative from the perspective of a terrorist, quite possibly virtual. What happens in the psyche of a person driven to despair? Is it possible to find the meaning of your life in the death of other people? Is it worth responding to violence with violence? By writing “Glitch,” Hubert Selby once again confirmed his status as a modern American writer of the first magnitude.
