Review
?In his latest novel, Try, Cooper seems to be moving away from a pervasive morbidity toards a gentler maturity...To use Cooper?s own Californian demotic, his achievement is, like...you know...totally awesome.
Guardian ?The last word on the dsyfunctional family... slacker hell, and not for the faint-hearted? Attitude ?This is high-risk literature. It takes enormous courage for a writer to explore, as Mr. Cooper does, the extreme boundaries of human behavior and amorality, right to the abyss where desire and lust topple into death (New York Times Book Review)
