Book Reviews of My Loose Thread (Cooper, Dennis)
Book Review: Rewritten maturity
Summary: 4 Stars
Although I 'enjoy' (wrong word) Dennis Cooper's books I have had the feeling for some time that his plot is simply rewritten in each book. His obsession with dark haired, skinny boys, aberrant sexual relationships, insecurity about sexuality, murder and rape appear in each book. This worked detrimentally towards the end of his five book cycle; Period was dire and incomprehensible, but Cooper is back on form. There is a new maturity to his writing. Gone are the sentences where the subject is uncertain, and the prose is fuller and clearer. He is to be commended for trying to push forward the way the novel is written but his experiments didn't always work. This is more conventionally written and deals with his usual issues in a fuller manner. Cooper seems clearer about his stance as narrator in this novel and deserves to be heard.
