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 albums The Civil War and The Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth of the Beast.
