Immediately after Hubert Selby Jr. caught tuberculosis, he was hospitalized and spent a significant amount of time in a sanatorium for treatment. This experience profoundly influenced his writing, as he drew on his struggles and observations of life in the hospital. The isolation and challenges he faced during his illness shaped the themes of suffering and resilience that are prevalent in his works, such as "Last Exit to Brooklyn."
