The Sluts by Dennis Cooper Review

The Sluts by Dennis Cooper

My rating: 5 of 5 stars

CriminOlly is a BookTuber that specializes in crime, pulp, and horror. He has talked a lot about disturbing books.

I was watching one of his reading updates, and he was in the middle of The Sluts by Dennis Cooper, so I decided to give it a shot. A recent disturbing book that I really liked was Exquisite Corpse by Poppy Z. Brite, so I thought I wo

Quotes by Wesley McCraw (?)

“The Kitten poster reminds me of Blake Snyder’s SAVE THE CAT! The Last Book on Screenwriting That You’ll Ever Need, which has a cover with a similar image. I hope the kitten falls to its death. This hope is not born out of maliciousness, but sympathy. What's the point of hanging in there if no one's going to save you? The little fucker can only hang on for so long.”
― Wesley McCraw, Brief Pose

“[Professor] Frank recalled my idle remark some years ago: 'Never pass up the opportunity to have sex or appear on television.' Advice I would never give today in the age of AIDS and its television equivalent Fox News.”

“Ayn Rand's 'philosophy' is nearly perfect in its immorality, which makes the size of her audience all the more ominous and symptomatic as we enter a curious new phase in our society.... To justify and extol human greed and egotism is to my mind not only immoral, but evil.”

“How, then, does one become an activist?

The easy answer would be to say that we do not become activists; we simply forget that we are. We are all born with compassion, generosity, and love for others inside us. We are all moved by injustice and discrimination. We are all, inside, concerned human beings. We all want to give more than to receive. We all want to live in a world where solidarity and companionship are more important values than individualism and selfishness. We all want to share beautiful things; experience joy, laughter, love; and experiment, together.”
