just a delight to read. as much as I love billy burroughs, cooper's awfully brutal in his accusations of him "selling out". also understood the language of the internet far better than a lot of current literature with internet prose does ("The Sluts" is at once shocking and feels like it could've been written yesterday).

Although released in 2004, this fiction novel has a tonne of early internet feel to it. Taking place entirely through chat forums and reviews on gay escort sites, the story follows people’s stories and reviews of an elusive escort.
I’ll warn you, it’s some of the most horrifyingly graphic stuff you’ll read but, I adore how it uses the internets lack of trust to its advantage- constantly throwing the reader and the characters off the scent of an ever expanding story of half truths and blatant lies.
Genuinely one of my favourite books and I still don’t really understand why.

abstract. insane. gay. straight. murderer. he has it all lowk top tier writing even though it’s hard to follow at times. start with junky, i think it might be his most lucid, explore from there. also look into his life quite the figure

so much to talk about, the sunglasses, the scarf, the fresh baguette and coffee, the always lovely cafe setting. I think this is the most swag ever captured on camera I aspire to be at this level
