[[File:AVT Hubert-Selby-Jr 7953~2.jpg | 200px | right | thumb |Hubert Selby Jr.]] [[Category:Influences on Morrissey - Literature]] == Relevance == In his 1964 book "Last Exit To Brooklyn", Selby Jr. names part 2 "The Queen Is Dead".<br> Writers [[Mention::Len Brown]], [[Mention::Simon Goddard]] et al assert The Smiths' The Queen Is Dead derives its name from this. It should be noted that there is no direct evidence via Morrissey or others to confirm this or confirm Len Brown's assertion: <blockquote> "American author of a volume of thematic short stories called Last Exit To Brooklyn, source of The Smiths’ album title The Queen Is Dead (named after one of the collection). Morrissey planned that the album’s release should come exactly 20 years after the book was banned under the Obscene Publications Act in 1966." </blockquote> <gallery> File:QID Selby Jnr part2.png| Selby Jr.'s chapter title </gallery>
