Book Reviews of Frisk: A Novel (Cooper, Dennis)
Book Review: good, challenging funny in parts
Summary: 4 Stars
I read Frisk a few weeks ago. I found myself compelled to read all of it after I had started. The whole text flowed well, I think, with a style that is definately not pornography. The scenes of sex and violence were graphic enough without being absurd; I found myself feeling rather detached from the suffering of the victims and I found several of the more graphic sections even funny at times. I believe this is what Dennis meant to occur in the mind of the reader, and he wants us to then assess these emotions and their implications about ourselves. Sartre used stories (e.g. roads to freedom and La Nausea) to expound his philosophy and I felt I learnt from a form of latent philosophy in this book; either way my own personal philosphy was changing by this book (not in the sense of murder _ but body info etc etc.)read this book.
