STAFF REVIEW

Dennis Cooper is a master at documenting all the most depraved, violent and nihilistic corners of the gay psyche. 

In prose as blunt as it is precise, 'Closer' takes on unflinching look at the life of Goerge Miles, a boy who moves through the world as if he's barely awake, fuelled by drugs, used constantly for sex and objectified by even those closest to him.

For those willing to delve into the claustrophobic, violent world Cooper creates here, they will discover a work of profound intelligence and insight.
