Read Because: once again, this gay incest book list, hardback borrowed from Tacoma Public Library via ILL
Review: Fellas, is it gay to have sex with your kid brother because you're both in love with the same guy? Also, gun violence. Insufferable and gladly suffered, this has the heightened-but-stunted emotional register that best evokes adolescence, plot placed between the staccato, sparse, dialog-first lines of scenes where the protagonist repeatedly bumps against the limit of his emotional capacity. More than 120 pages would be too much, and yet I'm putting the rest of Cooper's oeuvre on my TBR & this one on my list of books to reread. It really worked for me.
