  Physically beautiful and strangely passive, George Miles becomes the object of his friends? passions. In the blandness of middle America, he represents a pole for authentic experience. Cooper?s use of the horrific is very pertinent - it forces us to contemplate the emptiness of lives and the everyday pervasiveness of violence. Passionate and terrifying, Closer confirms Dennis Cooper?s position as one of the most daring, innovative writers of today.Physically beautiful and strangely passive, George Miles becomes the object of his friends? passions.

  Like Jean Genet and William Burroughs, Dennis Cooper assaults the senses as he engages the mind with visions of nightmare intensity in a world where stimulation without excitement and experience without emotion are prized.
