A formally innovative novel that examines addiction, desire, and the loss of individual agency in an urban American setting, Requiem for a Dream follows four characters whose aspirations for a better life collapse into drug dependence and personal ruin. The novel was adapted into a film directed by Darren Aronofsky and released in 2000, noted for its stylized visual approach and intense portrayal of addiction. The film received widespread critical acclaim and earned Ellen Burstyn an Academy Award nomination for Best Actress, among other honors. "To understand Selby's work is to understand the anguish of America" (New York Times Book Review).
