Last exit to Brooklyn #1

I recently finished reading Last Exit to Brooklyn by Hubert Selby Jnr. And yes, I probably should have read it when I was 15 rather than 30, but despite it being pretty disturbing, it was an amazing read... Anyway I recently stumbled across this photograph by Jeremy Pollard, and although I am aware that the picture is from completely the wrong era, it is the start of a new thread of posts of photographs that remind me or anyone of the book.... So any suggestions welcome.....
