High Life by Matthew Stokoe
Hollywood, the City of Dreams. Jack had come here with one ambition: to become famous, a star - in exactly what way, he didn't care. In his second novel, Matthew Stokoe proves himself a worthy heir to the great tradition of California noir. Brutal and unflinching in its depiction of violence and sex, his book is like an unholy hybrid of Raymond Chandler's best work and Brett Ellis's American Psycho.
Matthew Stokoe was born in England and grew up in Australia. Since then, he has lived in a number of places in between and presently divides his time between Sydney and Northern California. He is the author of the ground-breaking novels Cows and High Life and is internationally regarded as one of the most daring and innovative writers working today. Dennis Cooper is the author of 'The George Miles Cycle, ' an interconnected sequence of five novels that includes Closer (1989), Frisk (1991), Try (1994), Guide (1997), and Period (2000). The cycle has been translated into fourteen languages. His most recent novel is My Loose Thread (Canongate, 2002). He lives in Los Angeles.
