Ugly Man: Stories

€œ[A] brilliant, triumphantly lurid writer as well as a supremely talented, elegant stylist whose prose is smart and nervy. He might also be the last literary outlaw in mainstream American fiction.€ €"Bret Easton Ellis

Internationally acclaimed writer Dennis Cooper continues to study the material he's always explored honestly, but does so now€"in stories€"with a sense of awareness and a satirical touch that exploits and winks at his mastery of this world. As it has done for decades, Cooper€s taut, controlled prose lays bare the compulsions and troubling emptiness of the human soul.
