Drace (dracenines) | 6271 comments There are errors to clean up with the book My Loose Thread by Dennis Cooper.

2. Hardcover A: /book/show/1...

- The publication date should be July 10, 2002. See the above archived link for proof.

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows:

At the heart of Dennis Cooper’s brilliant new novel lies Larry, a teenager wrestling not only with his sexuality and the implications of a physical relationship with his younger brother, but with the very point of his existence. He is numb to most of what surrounds him.

As the book opens, Larry has been paid $500 by an older student to kill a fellow pupil and retrieve the boy’s notebook. It seems simple enough. However, once Larry ventures into the notebook, complications arise . . .

Dennis Cooper, one of America’s most original and challenging contemporary novelists, has created in My Loose Thread an immensely powerful work that explores with great tenderness teenage depression, moral vacuity and the confusion of love. Written in Cooper’s typically sparse prose, it is a claustrophobic and harrowing piece of fiction that is all the more affecting for the gracefulness of its language.

4. Paperback: My Loose Thread (ISBN 9781841954127)
