Explanation As Books My Loose Thread
Larry is a teenager wrestling not only with his sexuality and the implications of a physical relationship with his younger brother, but with the very point of his existence. He is numb to almost all that surrounds him. As the book opens, Larry has been paid $500 by a senior to kill a fellow student and retrieve the boy's notebook. It seems simple enough. However, once Larry delves into the notebook, complications arise. An immensely powerful work that explores teenage depression, moral vacuity, and the confusion of love, this is a claustrophobic and harrowing piece of fiction.Declare Of Books My Loose Thread

An extraordinarily dark, gritty portrayal of American teen angst that could go side-by-side with Charles Burns's "Black Hole." Disturbing depiction of confusion about emotions, sexual identity, and social structure that burgeons into expression through violence and drug abuse. I take issue because the author makes use of certain conventions (i.e., stereotypes) that develop into pat responses. Yes, it's well done, but ill-considered.A book that is numb, confusing thanks to an unreliable narrator, and full of conflicting emotions. A guy is in love with his brother and a lot of people die. Some fucked up things as per usual, but it's what you can expect with Dennis Cooper's work. Too confusing for my own good though.
Hmmm. I'm not sure what I thought of this. I found it very chaotic and confusion and while I can understand that as insight into the main character's thought processes, I found it distracting. It also took me much longer to read this slim volume than it should have, though I've no idea why. Perhaps my own life is a little too chaotic at this time to appriciate this.
Repression has an ugly face, forcing urges into the psyche. Larry loves a boy who loves his brother whom Larry loves. Murder, delusion, and lies ensue. Larry is confused.
Jayita recommended this to me and I was knocked out by it. The back cover description would never have compelled me to pick this up, but I'm glad I did. (Though both Jayita and I noted that the emotional punch of the book lingered, so take that into account if you have an overactive imagination and propensity for insomnia.) The book is an incredible example of structure and pace being utilized to create parallels between the reader's experience of the book and the protagonist's experience of the
This was my first experience with Dennis Cooper and wow it was a wild ride. A guy at a bookstore I frequent told me to check him and out and he was not wrong. This story is outrageous and weird but also incredibly good. This novel is all over the place. Cooper really puts you in the head of the protagonist and he cant make sense of anything. It made it hard for me to sometimes understand what was happening. I had to reread the same passage a couple times throughout this book. Be prepared for all
