Il est allongé nu sur le futon, les poignets liés ensemble, les jambes écartées, les pieds qui dépassent du cadre. Un drap tordu, comme une tornade maigrichonne. Sur la première photo, ses longs cheveux noirs et raides lui tombent sur le visage, recouvrant tout, à part le bout de son nez, son menton, une pommette, un œil en partie fermé. Il a dix-sept ans. Son corps est trop contracté pour être mort ou endormi. Autour de son cou, il s'agit apparemment d'un nœud coulant.

Narrated in a voice that may be construed as the author's own, Guide is the story of the conflict between a novelist's fantasy life and his inability to represent it in language. Remembering the clarity he felt during an LSD trip in his teens, 'Dennis' drops acid and attempts to write a novel that will make sense of his life, his desires, his friends, and his art. The fourth volume in Cooper's five-novel cycle, Guide is his most shocking study yet of the darker side of human need and the nature of desire. It reaffirms his position as a writer whose ability to transgress is matched by his literary brilliance.

The stunning conclusion to Dennis Cooper's five-book cycle, Period earned its author the accolade "a disquieting genius" by Vanity Fair and praise for his "elegant prose and literary lawlessness" by The New York Times. The culmination of Cooper's explorations into sex and death, youth culture, and the search for the ineffable object of desire, Period is a breathtaking, mesmerizing final statement to the five-book cycle it completes. Cooper has taken his familiar themes'strangely irresistible and interchangeable young men, passion that crosses into murder, the lure of drugs, the culpabilities of authorship, and the inexact, haunting communication of feeling-and melded them into a novel of flawless form and immense power. Set in a spare, smoke-and-mirror-filled world of secret Web sites, Goth bands, Satanism, pornography, and outsider art, Period is a literary disappearing act as mysterious as it is logical. Obsessive, beautiful, and darkly comic, Period is a stunning achievement from one of America's finest writers
