Enter at Your Own Risk The Dangerous Art of Dennis Cooper

Dennis Cooper has been both praised and censured as the most controversial writer working today for his creation of a searing, outlaw textuality that charts psychosexual terrain uncensored by desire police. This volume is the first to explore Cooper's significance as a pioneering literary artist who illuminates the hidden or repressed extremities of the fin de millennium American zeitgeist. Leora Lev has assembled a roster of internationally acclaimed scholars, fiction writers, film-makers, and artists who conjure a provocative encounter between Cooper's fiction, European transgressive literature and philosophy (e.g., Sade, Rimbaud, Bataille, Bresson), and American psychocultural topographies.Lev, Leora is the author of 'Enter at Your Own Risk The Dangerous Art of Dennis Cooper', published 2006 under ISBN 9780838640883 and ISBN 0838640885.
