Representaion Supposing Books My Loose Thread

Larry is a teenager wrestling not only with his sexuality and the implications of a physical relationship with his younger brother, but with the very point of his existence. He is numb to almost all that surrounds him. As the book opens, Larry has been paid $500 by a senior to kill a fellow student and retrieve the boy's notebook. It seems simple enough. However, once Larry delves into the notebook, complications arise. An immensely powerful work that explores teenage depression, moral vacuity, and the confusion of love, this is a claustrophobic and harrowing piece of fiction.

Evaluation Epithetical Books My Loose Thread

One has to wonder if teenage protagonists and a teenage narrator dealing with teenage problems automatically make a book "YA". This is very similar in style to some recent YA novels such as How I Live Now but I'm not so sure I would add it to my classroom library. I recently sold a copy to a bookstore customer (an adult, thank goodness) who told me "Hey, my favorite book is To Kill A Mockingbird, I can handle issues." Of course, I didn't hear back from her.

Repression has an ugly face, forcing urges into the psyche. Larry loves a boy who loves his brother whom Larry loves. Murder, delusion, and lies ensue. Larry is confused.

Dennis Cooper novels are a bit like anal sex. Hard to get into at first but then open and enjoyable. However, this novel was just painful. After hearing lots of positive things I was really excited to read it but I was just disappointed from beginning to end. The plot was underdeveloped, the characters even more so, it just didn't go anywhere. "I'm not gay" was basically the plot. Loved a lot of his other works but this was awful. Sorry, Coops.

A book that is numb, confusing thanks to an unreliable narrator, and full of conflicting emotions. A guy is in love with his brother and a lot of people die. Some fucked up things as per usual, but it's what you can expect with Dennis Cooper's work. Too confusing for my own good though.

Dennis Cooper my well be the David Lynch of queer culture. His shockaholic fiction ignores the superficial and drives straight down the dark road of teenaged boys emotionally ruined by the fragmented environments they inhabit. "My Loose Thread" is no exception, and is a tight and destructive addition to his marganalized opus. The novel centers on Larry, a boy who has so little control over his own life and sexual drives that he numbly repeats, "I'm really confused" like a modern-day mantra. He's

This was my first experience with Dennis Cooper and wow it was a wild ride. A guy at a bookstore I frequent told me to check him and out and he was not wrong. This story is outrageous and weird but also incredibly good. This novel is all over the place. Cooper really puts you in the head of the protagonist and he cant make sense of anything. It made it hard for me to sometimes understand what was happening. I had to reread the same passage a couple times throughout this book. Be prepared for all

This is one of the sickest stories I've read. That's not why I gave it 2 stars though. I've read some sick shit before. Hello, I love Stephen King! However the author of this novel, compared by some critics as a modern day Burroughs, makes his material hard to read. It's disjointed not only in prose but in story-line. Perhaps this was done purposely as the teens (and adults) in the novel are completely out of tune. Every character in this short book, with the possible exception of Larry's
