Period

by Dennis Cooper
Period - Thryft
Period - Thryft

Provocative exploration of desire, death, and youth.

If you're drawn to the darker, more provocative undercurrents of human experience, Dennis Cooper's "Period" could captivate you. Closing his five-book cycle, Cooper doesn't shy away from the uncomfortable, intertwining themes of sex, mortality, and the rebellious pulse of youth culture. Feel the adrenaline of his narrative and the haunting questions he raises about the nature of desire and the shadows it casts.

Note: While we do our best to ensure the accuracy of cover images, ISBNs may at times be reused for different editions of the same title which may hence appear as a different cover.

Description

Period - the end of the sentence, and the final statement of Dennis Cooper?s five-book cycle. Provocative and controversial, Cooper has charted a fearlessly radical path exploring the themes of sex and death, youth culture and the search for the ineffable, perfect object of desire. Period is the culmination of that exploration and features strangely irresistible but interchangeable young men, passion that becomes murder, the lure of drugs, the culpability of authorship, and the inexact, haunting communication of feeling, all set against a backdrop of secret websites, Goth bands, pornography and Outsider art.
