Book Reviews of Closer: A Novel (Cooper, Dennis)
Book Review: Thrown to the Wolves
Summary: 4 Stars
I read the book twice before I wrote this review (which was quick to do since the novel is only 130 pages long), once to read the content, and again to see Cooper's vision. While I cannot personally identify with his facination and association with love/sex/violence/death, I cannot deny that this book is powerful. George Miles is incredibly sympathetic and complex despite lacking clarity, while those around him are so incredibly depraved and self-indulgent (to the point that they BS themselves). If you can read past the "rebellious" content, then it's for you.
Summary of Closer: A Novel (Cooper, Dennis)
Physically beautiful and strangely passive, George Miles becomes the object of his friends' passions and, one after another, they ransack him for love or anything else they can trust in the vacuum of middle America. What they find assaults the senses as it engages the mind, in a novel that explores the limits of experience.
