This was excellent and totally outside my comfort zone (shit-eating and snuff films), but I'll wait and actually review the entire 5-book cycle at once. Maybe. ( ) An extremely disturbing portrayal of gay men, especially teenagers. Given that it was written after the discovery of HIV, its portrayal of various forms of unsafe sex among teens is unfortunate. Gay men killing other gay men and taking a power saw to behinds for sexual satisfaction is way beyond the pale. Boring, gross, etc. I mainly read it because of Cooper's Paris Review interview and I wanted have a transgressive-lit marathon of Cooper/Bataille/Acker, but this is sort of disappointing. I was hoping for something similar to that perfectly structured hallucination that is The Marbled Swarm, but this reads more like a gay teenager's acid-induced nightmares that he decided to novelize for his intro to creative writing class. I should be kinder, since this was his very first book, but I think I'll pass on future Cooper, or at least on the rest of the George Miles cycle. sin reseñas | añadir una reseña

Like Jean Genet and William Burroughs, Dennis Cooper assaults the senses as he engages the mind with visions of nightmare intensity in a world where stimulation without excitement and experience without emotion are prized. No se han encontrado descripciones de biblioteca. |
