  <default_description>&lt;div&gt;Set largely on the pages of a website where gay male escorts are reviewed by their clients, and told through the postings, emails, and conversations of several dozen unreliable narrators, &lt;i&gt;The Sluts&lt;/i&gt; chronicles the evolution of one young escort's date with a satisfied client into a metafiction of pornography, lies, half-truths, and myth. Explicit, shocking, comical, and displaying the author's signature flair for blending structural complexity with direct, stylish, accessible language, &lt;i&gt;The Sluts&lt;/i&gt; is Cooper's most transgressive novel since Frisk, and one of his most innovative works of fiction to date.&lt;/div&gt;</default_description>

    <body><![CDATA[Dennis Cooper is such a good writer that it looks like he's just saying some stuff to you, which is hard to pull off. I like the mood you get into in all of his books: these semi-reliable narrators, who tend to be pretty out of it, lazily unspooling a bunch of stuff that happened.
