Relation During Books The Sluts

Set largely on the pages of a website where gay male escorts are reviewed by their clients, and told through the postings, emails, and conversations of several dozen unreliable narrators, The Sluts chronicles the evolution of one young escort's date with a satisfied client into a metafiction of pornography, lies, half-truths, and myth. Explicit, shocking, comical, and displaying the author's signature flair for blending structural complexity with direct, stylish, accessible language, The Sluts is Cooper's most transgressive novel since Frisk, and one of his most innovative works of fiction to date.

back in the good 'ol days, when goodreads was a much smaller (and some would say better) place, the #1 top ranked reviewer was a woman called ginnie jones. she claimed to be a very old women in pasadena (her avatar remained a found image of a frazzled pencil-chomping booknerd) who spent all her time reading, reviewing, and tending to her very sick husband. ginnie was an elusive bird: she'd rarely comment on others' pages and would almost never answer private messages. but she was part of our

Simply put, best book I've ever read. Profound filth.

As a 15 year old boy, I can't say I've been exposed to most of the aspects of this book: sex, escorts/prostitution, fetishistic lifestyles, etc. But I decided to read this book anyway after seeing it in a train station bookstore. What can I say, I was interested. Perplexed even.The Sluts takes place mostly online, on a few gay escort websites. The escort being reviewed is named Brad, and he is quite mysterious. You don't actually get to hear his side of the story (supposedly) and there are so

Dennis Cooper is such a good writer that it looks like he's just saying some stuff to you, which is hard to pull off. I like the mood you get into in all of his books: these semi-reliable narrators, who tend to be pretty out of it, lazily unspooling a bunch of stuff that happened. Even when, like in this one, there's structural stuff happening, the structure (and the mutilation, and the murders and suicides and bleak gay mopiness and whatever other sensationalist stuff is happening) is secondary



As someone who considers American Psycho to be their favorite novel, the Sluts by Dennis Cooper was a serious mindf***. Alternately disgusting and engrossing, haphazardly written and brilliantly constructed, I was astonished at the amount of intricate violence there was in this satire of gay culture. And this was absolutely satire, bordering on parody but the story was too compelling to put down. I give this 5 stars, but I'm not sure if I'll ever read it again.

if Borges took on Rashomon, but instead of the action happening in a grove, it went down on a message board dedicated to reviewing homosexual escorts
