Another bump.This thread is officially more than 6 months old.
I think these are all done to the extent possible (for a non-super librarian). Can't add new ISBN-13s if there's already an ISBN-10.
I reached out to staff about the ISBN issues. Thread complete. Thanks to everyone who helped!

- The description is incorrect. It should read as follows:
At the heart of Dennis Cooper’s brilliant new novel lies Larry, a teenager wrestling not only with his sexuality and the implications of a physical relationship with his younger brother, but with the very point of his existence. He is numb to most of what surrounds him.
As the book opens, Larry has been paid $500 by an older student to kill a fellow pupil and retrieve the boy’s notebook. It seems simple enough. However, once Larry ventures into the notebook, complications arise . . .
Dennis Cooper, one of America’s most original and challenging contemporary novelists, has created in My Loose Thread an immensely powerful work that explores with great tenderness teenage depression, moral vacuity and the confusion of love. Written in Cooper’s typically sparse prose, it is a claustrophobic and harrowing piece of fiction that is all the more affecting for the gracefulness of its language.
