Book Review: Bring it on
Summary: 5 Stars

Dennis then returned to Los Angeles around ten years ago. He is now known for his cycle of five novels that started with Closer, and continued with Frisk, Try, Guide, and Period. All the books were stylistically different and but had young people as their subject matter. He has published a number of books of poetry, most was later collected in The Dream Police. Dennis also published a book or short stories, Wrong, and a book of critical writings called All Ears.

In March 2000, Dennis' work was celebrated at NYU Fales Library with a panel of noted critics of contemporary culture including Professor Avital Ronell, Stephen Malkmus from the band "Pavement," Thurston Moore, guitarist with "Sonic Youth," and authors Bret Easton Ellis and Lynne Tillman, among others. The year 2000 was a threshold year since he was done with the cycle. Dennis was collaborating on other projects for a few years. Now he's finally published a new book, My Loose Thread. It is a very short book. It focuses on the thoughts of Larry, a teenager, and his friends. Larry has been paid to kill a fellow student and retrieve his notebook. There's also the strange relationship he has with his younger brother, Jim. My Loose Thread is a mystery and a challenge to read, especially in this age of teenage aggression and sexuality.
