The Marbled Swarm

Literary cult hero Dennis Cooper delivers his highly anticipated new novel. Written in a voice that is lush and intricate, The Marbled Swarm is Dennis Cooper’s most accomplished (and most beguiling) work to date. Cooper tells the story of a man who secretly influences his son to commit a grisly act. Justin Taylor, author of The Gospel of Anarchy, calls The Marbled Swarm “a mindbending masterpiece . . . vivid, slippery, ferocious, and rich with secrets. Nobody else could have written this novel and nothing else like it exists.” Cooper, following his collections Smothered in Hugs and Ugly Man, offers his fans the expansive novel they have been waiting for—one that will become a touchstone of outsider literature.
