    I JUST FINISHED THIS BOOK!!!!!! Its been on my tbr for many months and sitting on my shelf taunting me but I finally decided to give it a try and I finished it in two days.... This fucking book was phenomenal. It was depraved and vile and yet thrilling and mysterious and UNIQUE! I've never read anything like it and I loved every fucking page. 10/10

    Love Dennis Cooper. His George Miles Cycle (Closer, Frisk, Try, Guide, Period) is also extreme like this one. Poppy Brite's "Exquisite Corpse" was somewhat of an homage to "Frisk."

    Read this on a camping trip. Was absolutely fascinating and the format was super cool. Dennis Cooper is probably one of my favorite authors(?). Still unsure, read Closer and Frisk as well which are definitely something else.

    Hi Anda, I really enjoy your videos.
    This review made me think that you would really appreciated ‘We Had to Remove This,’ by Hanna Bervoets. Not because the books seem similar, but because of some of the things you say about the kind of writing that appeals to you. It’s really short and I loved it a lot - check it out if you get the chance.
    I have been meaning to read Cooper for ages since he is one of the favorite writers of Jamie Stewart from the band Xiu Xiu. I have Cooper’s debut, Closer, which I’m planning to read this summer.

    Omg I commented on a video of yours yesterday asking if you were going to review more Dennis cooper 😂 so glad you posted this! The Sluts is amazing. I would also recommend Frisk and Try, books 2 and 3 in the George Miles cycle. Try is my favorite of the two :3

  • @Meiliina
    @Meiliina Před 29 dny

    If you want a much more non-traumatising book to read that's told through declassified documents and emails, I would recommend The Illuminae by Amie Kaufman & Jay Kristoff. It's a YA novel, first in a trilogy, but I found both the story and form really enjoyable. But more Dennis Cooper sounds good too.

  • @gilexia451

    • @poe.and.theholograms
      @poe.and.theholograms Před 21 dnem +2

      I recommend The Remains of the Day by Kazuo Ishiguro, although that's more like he's obviously biased and the plot lays a smackdown on him for it.
      God, Jr. by Dennis Cooper does not have as much violence or sex as any of Cooper's other books. (Cooper is the king of unreliable narration).
      If you want something heftier and heavier, in which the unreliableness slowly slowly slowly creeps in-The Secret History by Donna Tartt. Moe Black here on CZcams had a lot of good videos about it.
      Pale Fire by Vladimir Nabokov or his more popular and controversial book Lolita...
      Fight Club by Chuck Palahniuk. The twist in that one is legendary, and I definitely think the movie ruined the book's message by changing the ending.
      Mysterious Skin by Scott Heim but like Lolita it has rather graphic depictions of child abuse, unlike Lolita it's all told from the point of view of the victim.
      Curtain by Agatha Christie but the narrator is more straightforwardly mistaken, than he is unreliable.

    Ah I love ‘The Sluts'! When my friend lent it to me I devoured it in a single night-so incredibly entrancing/obsessive/engrossing. The way that the online characters become obsessed, lie, get confused, reorient themselves, reconstruct the story parallels the audiences own reception. The obsessive quality is not be understated-I felt truly truly obsessed by who 'Brad' was, and ultimately, who he is doesn't really matter (!) to us. We get 'The Sluts' anyway.
