The final novel in the award-winning George Miles Cycle. "A triumphant finale to one of the most intense series of novels ever written" (Mondo).   The stunning conclusion to Dennis Cooper's five-book cycle, Period earned its author the accolade "a disquieting genius" by Vanity Fair and praise for his "elegant prose and literary lawlessness" from The New York Times. Breathtaking and mesmerizing, it is the culmination of Cooper's explorations into sex and death, youth culture, and the search for the ineffable object of desire.   Cooper has taken his familiar themes--strangely irresistible and interchangeable young men, passion that crosses into murder, the lure of drugs, the culpabilities of authorship, and the inexact, haunting communication of feeling--and melded them into a novel of flawless form and immense power. Set in a spare, smoke-and-mirror-filled world of secret websites, Goth bands, Satanism, pornography, and outsider art, Period is a literary disappearing act as mysterious as it is logical. Obsessive, beautiful, and darkly comic, Period is a stunning achievement from one of America's finest writers.   "A fascinating, intricately crafted jewel of a book . . . It's a book one could read over and over and never exhaust." --San Francisco Chronicle Book Review   "To read Period (a book so intricate, it comes with its own strategy guide) is to witness the idea of the novel itself imploding; to glimpse the end of language; to become aware of literature's dizzying possibilities." --The Guardian   "An elegy to the nature of obsessive love, the need to feel . . . [Cooper] is a profoundly original American visionary, and the most important transgressive literary artist since Burroughs." --Salon   "Haunting." --Details… (més)

Si può amarlo o odiarlo, ma certamente Cooper è un autore che riesce a portare la scrittura in ambiti non esplorati prima. E in questo libro (ultimo di una serie di 5), c’è tutto il suo mondo fatto di eccessi. E ci sono storie su storie che si sovrappongono... facendoti sempre pensare di non essere riuscito a comprendere tutto. ( )
