Synopsis:

Larry is a teenager wrestling not only with his sexuality and the implications of a physical relationship with his younger brother, but with the very point of his existence. He is numb to almost all that surrounds him.
As the book opens, Larry has been paid $500 by a senior to kill a fellow pupil and retrieve the boy's notebook. It seems simple enough. However, once Larry delves into the notebook, complications arise.
An immensely powerful work that explores teenage depression, moral vacuity and the confusion of love, My Loose Thread is a claustrophobic and harrowing piece of fiction.

About the Author: DENNIS COOPER is the author of All Ears, Criticism, Essays and Obituaries; a short story collection, Wrong; and several volumes of poetry. He's best known, however, for his recently completed cycle of five novels - Closer, Frisk, Try, Guide and Period, all published in the UK by Serpent's Tail.
