Period

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.
