The Sluts

By Dennis Cooper

Format:Softcover

"Cooper deserves reassessment . . . this compelling page-turner ought to remind adventurous readers that important transgressive literature needn't be something only the French and the occasional perverted American can get behind." -- LA WeeklySet 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.

"Im strange“ "How so?“ "Because im a slut“ First of all, I liked this book. I did. I just hoped it would be more realistic, more about real escort life and generally more about "Brad“. It is not, it is about $nuff movies, S&M and confusion! Also, this book needs to get revised for spelling and grammatical errors :(
