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.
?Frisk is a macabre novel about the search for spiritual truth through physical desecration..It is an electrifying study in carnage? Sunday Times ?Unmissable? Face ?The diction of desire has rarely been implemented so frankly, or to such stunning effect? City Limits
