At the age of 15, he dropped out of school and went to sea with the merchant marines. While at sea he was diagnosed with lung disease. With no other way to make a living, he decided to try writing: 'I knew the alphabet. Maybe I could be a writer.' In 1964 he completed his first book, \u003ci\u003eLast Exit to Brooklyn\u003c\/i\u003e, which has since become a cult classic. In 1966, it was the subject of an obscenity trial in the UK. His other books include \u003ci\u003eThe Room\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Demon\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eRequiem for a Dream\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eSong of the Silent Snow\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eThe Willow Tree\u003c\/i\u003e and \u003ci\u003eWaiting Period\u003c\/i\u003e.
