Safe,
This review is from: Safe (Paperback)
Dennis Cooper's first full-length work in prose is a remarkable story of love and imagination among the Southern California post-teen generation Cooper has written about so brilliantly in his two collections of poetry, Idols and The Tenderness of the Wolves.
As much a series of prose poems as it is a novel, Safe is a unique triptych of visions of romantic and sexual desire among the Los Angeles "Blank Generation," centering on Mark, a beautiful, proud suburban young man whose passions for drugs and sex hide as impelling self-destructiveness and fear of human companionship. For the men who have become obsessed with him, Mark is more, a symbol of everything their pampered, tolerant lives cannot give them - perhaps Spirit itself. For those familiar with Cooper's critically praised earlier work, Safe will be a revelation of his growth of craft and technical prowess in another medium. For others, Safe is a stunningly honest and erotic account of love and life among beautiful people. --- from book's back cover
