One of the fathers of the transgressive fiction movement, "It'll Be Better Tomorrow" is an interesting look into the life of one of the unknown great American writers. I really had no idea of how terrible his life was or Selby's upbringing, and being an aspiring writer, Dean really did a nice job compiling a series of interviews with various people and co-artists. Worth the watch if you're a fan.
