Guide
Author(s): Dennis Cooper
Guide, the fourth novel in a projected five-book cycle, continues to challenge novelistic conventions in the manner that has earned Dennis Cooper comparisons to Poe, Genet, and Baudelaire. Chris is a young porn star who wants to experience death at someone else's hand; Mason has lurid fantasies about members of British pop bands; Sniffles is a teenage runaway whose need for love outweighs his attachment to life. Courtesy f a frankly manipulative author-narrator named Dennis, these characters and more move through a subterranean Los Angeles where hallucination and reality, sex and suicide, love and indifference run together in terrifying ways.
