The odds are decent that you know Dennis Cooper better than I do. After hearing about his work for years and constantly promising myself that I would try a little someday, I found myself graduated from the MFA program with time to read books of my own choosing again, and so I finally started reading his novels, and I haven't stopped in the few months since.

Dennis Cooper always packs maximum shock value and tragedy into his novels that only last for a few bittersweet moments. Unlike "Candide," Cooper's "Try" is not peppered with philosophy metaphor. Instead, Cooper's bleak, controversial, transgressive stories are oriented around the emotions (and interpersonal dynamics) of the ultra-damaged characters. Try is the story of Ziggy, the adopted son of two sexually abusive fathers. He runs from both of these men to his uncle, who sells porographic videos on the black market, and to his best friend, a junkie whose own vulnerability inspires in Ziggy a fierce and awkward devotion.
