Which is not to say that he was a bad writer, at least not all the time. Witness his short story "Double Feature," for example: it's evocative and believable, and the characters are sympathetic despite being a couple of self-sabotaging bozos. Altogether a lovely little piece of writing that doesn't have to belabor its point. The Room, however, is a headache from start to finish, and its lone character is an unsympathetic asshole. This simply wasn't an effective way to draw attention to the very real problems of police brutality and unjust incarceration. (It would be too easy to assign a one-star rating here, so I won't. Presumably, Selby had a vision for this thing; he just didn't fulfill it.) ( )
