Frisk Summary

Frisk by Dennis Cooper

When Dennis is 13, he sees a series of photographs of a boy apparently unimaginably mutilated. He is not shocked, but stunned by their mystery and power; their glimpse at the reality of death. Some years later, Dennis meets the boy who posed for the photographs. He did it for love. In his work, Dennis Cooper explores the dividing line between the body and the spirit. His first book Frisk is a novel about the power of fantasy and faith, about the ecstasy of being human. It is a work of unflinching honesty that refuses to allow the reader a vicarious, passive role in mapping out the relationship between desire, pornography and violence.
