Narration During Books Closer (George Miles Cycle #1)

La beauté de George Miles et son étrange passivité en font l’objet des désirs de son entourage. L’un après l’autre, ces garçons (John, David, Cliff, Alex, Philippe, Steve), produits typiques d’une Amérique moyenne déboussolée, vont le soumettre à leurs fantasmes. Dans une suite d’expériences de plus en plus extrêmes, à la limite du supportable, ils vont essayer, chacun à leur manière, de découvrir ce qui se cache derrière son apparence, ce qui se dissimule à l’intérieur même de cette image, quitte à le chercher littéralement sous la peau...
Ce premier roman de Dennis Cooper, publié aux États-Unis en 1989, est une descente terrifiante dans les obsessions de l’Amérique contemporaine, un train fantôme dévalant les pentes du désir et plongeant vers la mort sur fond de rock’n’roll, le récit d’un Sade transporté à Disneyland. Tous repères effondrés, toute morale abolie, ses personnages semblent évoluer dans une dimension parallèle dont le sexe, la drogue et les films d’horreur de série Z seraient les dernières balises. Parmi eux, la figure « angélique » de George apparaît comme le déclencheur qui leur permet de découvrir et de repousser leurs limites.

Commentary About Books Closer (George Miles Cycle #1)

weird how this is the first in the george miles cycle and it's the last one in the cycle for me to read. I wish i started with this book then work through them even though they don't fit in story wise. I wish this because i would have been able to see this stunning author grow. Like i did with Bret Easton Ellis. The novel is in the sparse and vague fashion that I have came to love so much, this is the main attraction to any of his works except The Marbled Swarm which was the first novel and

Everyone in Closer is attractive, gay, and twink-like (not to mention middle class and white) - yet consumed by ennui. A parade of James Deans at a Rebel Without a Cause convention. Each chapter takes the perspective of a new narrator, examining their lives through character portraits, but whilst these are well written, they stray too close to being vehicles for existential angst (and Cooper's wry social commentary), rather than being full and living people. Cooper's teens talk and live and fuck

Re-read 2016. This is a book about traumatized teenagers trying to process their trauma in a world where being gay isn't really a big deal - or at least where the trauma of being gay is such a normal part of life that it no longer scans as traumatic. It's brutal and vicious and when I look back at the stuff that stuck out at me my first time through it - the salacious stuff - I get mad at my younger self. I wish I'd dog-eared the page where the word "closer" appears because that paragraph felt

This novel consists of a series of chapters written by different point-of-view characters, all linked together by their desire for George Miles, a beautiful, troubled teenager. George's good looks are paired with an enigmatically passive nature that allows others' to read their desires and intentions onto him. Many desire him, but few have any interest in knowing him in any significant way. Most shy away when he starts to reveal his feelings. As George's personal problems intensify, his sexual

I need to re-read it. I need to re-read it. I need to re-read it.I read Dennis Cooper's Closer years ago after finding it in the library, I honestly don't remember what had happened in the story but I do remember myself thinking it's a damn great queer novel---one of the best I've read ever. The story has a lot of things to do with sexual desire, guy pinning after another guy but can't (or unwilling to) act upon it, unhealthy dreams, unhealthy way of thinking, etc. I seriously need to re-read

There was a time when I watched gore and slasher movies without even blinking. I liked how violence triggered different emotions like pain and fear and sadness, the thing that I lacked I think is sympathy. After reading what Ive read I discovered that books turned me into a more sympathetic person, I now cant watch the Saw series in a row without even blinking. And for this novel and the gore in it what wouldve been appealing once to me was repulsing. But sometimes violence is necessary in order

4.5. Might change it to a 5 after I give it more thought.
