La stanza

Selby's unflinching portrayal of suffering feels so real and unsettling. I wonder if his personal experiences or literary influences shaped this intense atmosphere.

The slow buildup felt intentional, immersing in their bleak realities. I'm curious if others found this approach effective or difficult to read.

The oppressive environment seems to mirror the characters' internal struggles. Did the setting serve as a character itself in shaping their fates?
