'The most dangerous writer in America' is back with an uncommon book of death and comedy.

Internationally acclaimed writer Dennis Cooper continues to study the material he's always explored honestly, but does so now - in stories - with a sense of awareness and a satirical touch that exploits and winks at his mastery of this world. As it has done for decades, Cooper's taut, controlled prose lays bare the compulsions and troubling emptiness of the human soul.

'A disquieting genius.' — Vanity Fair

'Dennis Cooper, God help him, is a born writer.' —William Burroughs
