Relation Toward 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.

Crit Based On Books The Sluts

One point many other reviewers haven't hit on yet is that the obvious analogy of the fictitious "slut" is J.T. LeRoy, the Cooper protege and author recently discovered to be a middle-aged woman that had tricked the publishing industry with an elaborately crafted guise of a teen runaway-turned-prostitute. The story of LeRoy and Sluts both highlight the ease in which "lives" can be created in our current era - particularly lives that appeal to certain gay men's fantasies of helpless young men. I

This book is formalistically brilliant, the story being primarily told by a host of anonymous or quasi-anonymous reviewers of a hustler in southern california. It reads like the legal dossier of some horrid crime, transforming "the reader" into a voyer and participant in the drama that unfolds. Violently plucking the chords of desire, lust, infatuation, ambiguity and anonymity, Dennis Cooper has written a complex and entertaining work.I read this book while on the subway listening to Matmos'two

often stories of immense insight into the human psyche are described as 'raw' but this one is literally poz. something about the age of the main prostitute fluctuating between 14 and 20 pushes the transgression over a certain threshold, re-focusing me towards the intrinsic fleeting quality of the web forum instead of the violence. just like "waking up" from an hour long scrolling session through whatever niche message board i'd stumbled upon that night, it was impossible to put the book down. it

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

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

This is not your fathers porn! If its not porn, is it erotica? Hell, no. Nothing erotic about this one. Although, it does speak to the many versions (sub-, perv-, King James, etc.)Think of it as Neil Simons Murder by Death meets de Sades The 120 Days of Sodom with a side of Delanys Hogg.In excruciating detail, a host of unreliable narrators post reviews of a male hustler on an internet website and in discussion threads, evaluating his rendered services and their own basest desires, while

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
