Period

Description:

"Period - the end of the sentence, and the final statement of Cooper's five-book cycle. In it, Cooper has taken his familiar themes - strangely irresistible and interchangeable young men, passion that crosses into murder, the lure of drugs, the culpability of authorship, and the inexact, haunting communications 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 websites, Goth bands, Satanism, pornography, and Outsider art, Period is at once a monument to the memory of George Miles - the object of obsession in Closer - and a literary disappearing act as mysterious as it is logical."--BOOK JACKET.
