Wrong by Dennis Cooper
Wrong, Dennis Cooper?s first collection of stories showcases the themes which are central to his writing - death, abusive relationships and the difficulty of finding language to convey extreme emotions. Throughout his work, Cooper has used death as a vantage point from which to view life. As the narrator of the title story says, ?Once you?ve killed someone, life?s shit. It?s a few rules and you?ve already broken the best.? Cooper writes about a world he knows well and his writing has the unforced strength of conviction.
?Parts of Wrong are very, very good, and the collection?s tone of futility and despair is emblematic of our soulless and decaying society? New York Times Book Review ?There is a frosty elegance to the writing, but, more importantly, there is an integrity that makes a reader believe it is worthwhile to look as unflinchingly as the author at such desperate lives? Mirabella
