Waiting Period, Paperback / softback Book

Waiting Period Paperback / softback

Part of the Penguin Modern Classics series

Paperback / softback

Description

Driven to desperation by the hand the world has dealt him, the suicidal narrator of Waiting Period attempts to buy a gun to end his life.

But a computer malfunction causes a delay with the gun license: a life-saving event that sees the man questioning why he should die when there are so many others he believes should go before him.

Planning the perfect murder, he chooses a victim - a bureaucrat responsible for denying him his benefits - and discovers to his amazement that his plan works perfectly.

But now this man has found his purpose in life, how far will he go with his mission?

In his final novel, Hubert Selby Jr. offers a shocking and fascinating examination of morality, murder and one man's personal war.
