God Jr. is a stunningly accomplished new novel that marks a new phase in Cooper's noteworthy career.<br>God Jr. is the story of Jim, a father who survived the car crash that killed his teenage son Tommy. Tommy was distant, transfixed by video games and pop culture, and a mystery to the man who raised him. Now, disabled by the accident, yearning somehow to absolve his own guilt over the crash, Jim becomes obsessed with a mysterious building Tommy drew repetitively in a notebook before he died. As the fixation grows, Jim starts to take on elements of his son-at the expense of his job and marriage-but is he connecting with who Tommy truly was?<br>A tender, wrenching look at guilt, grief, and the tenuous bonds of family, God Jr. is unlike anything Dennis Cooper has yet written. It is a triumphant achievement from one of our finest writers.</div> 1103753 10 7 2005 God Jr. total:202|5:48|4:50|3:61|2:30|1:13| 202 696 248 31 3 1 false false Thu Jan 08 22:09:57 -0800 2009 Fri Mar 06 14:06:28 -0800 2009
