Requiem for a Dream – Hubert Selby Jr. (Ukrainian Hardcover)

In Requiem for a Dream, Hubert Selby Jr. delivers a heart-wrenching tale of addiction, dreams, and the disintegration of hope. The story follows four intertwined characters, each trapped in their own destructive spiral. Sarah Goldfarb, a lonely widow, becomes obsessed with appearing on a television game show, while her son Harry, along with his friend Tyrone and girlfriend Marion, chases the seductive escape of heroin. As their illusions of a better life spiral into despair, the novel becomes a haunting exploration of how personal dreams—when pursued through dependency—can transform into nightmares.
