Dennis Cooper

Une descente dans les obsessions de l'Amérique contemporaine, un train fantôme dévalant les pentes du désir et plongeant vers la mort sur fond de rock'n'roll. Tous repères effondrés, toute morale abolie, ses personnages semblent évoluer dans une dimension parallèle dont le sexe, la drogue et les films d'horreur de série Z seraient les dernières balises.

Closer

I'm being watched, as if the whole world is watching, like protesters said in the sixties, when I wasn't born yet. It wants me invisible. No, it wants my skin in a heap on the floor and a teetering skeleton smeared with blood. I can't imagine that. As far as I'm concerned, everything's out in the open.

What got me to read like the first half of The Sluts with interest was here throughout.  Less needless torture here, and a larger variety of drugs used

Thisnwas fun to read the first in the George Miles cycle, especially since I've mainly read his later works. It's interesting to see this book explore many of the subjects that will come up frequently in the works that I've read. He explores things like sex, death and longing but not as extreme as he will do later. I think any issue I had comes from the writing which very much gave in the mind of a teenager with the way it sort of meandered. Not sure I loved it, but I enjoyed it.

I loved how gory and disgusting it was. Also the way that the author writes about the struggles of teenagers was perfectly written. I just felt like it was missing an Ah Ha moment or a realization that brings everything all together.
