So far this is, and it gives me no pleasure to say it, a genuine miss from Cooper. It feels like a pale imitation of his early work, without the emotional rawness of something like I Wished to offset it. Good grief.

I feel like this book is what you'd get if you took any other Dennis Cooper novel and sucked out all of the interesting bits. All you're left with are his confused, disconnected characters raping and pillaging one another - which just isn't enough to carry a book, especially when the prose is as overly written and turgid as this.
