The Marbled Swarm by Dennis Cooper
2.25
yoooo what the fuck!!
but actually, this book’s gratuitous violence, bizarre organization, and peculiar linguistic structure of the title concept almost made it a dnf for me. i did appreciate the level of grotesque that cooper was able to achieve with this one, and i know the narrator was meant to be irredeemable and his level of depravity knows no bounds, but i just couldn’t get into it.
