Narrative Supposing Books The Marbled Swarm
The Marbled Swarm is Dennis Cooper’s most haunting work to date. In secret passageways, hidden rooms, and the troubled mind of our narrator, a mystery perpetually takes shape—and the most compelling clue to its final nature is “the marbled swarm” itself, a complex amalgam of language passed down from father to son.Cooper ensnares the reader in a world of appearances, where the trappings of high art, old money, and haute cuisine obscure an unspeakable system of coercion and surrender. And as the narrator stalks an elusive truth, traveling from the French countryside to Paris and back again, the reader will be seduced by a voice only Dennis Cooper could create.

I just bought Dennis Cooper's Closer on my Kindle and I am already terrified that someone is going to look at my Kindle and start reading it and see that it is not only pornographic, but pornographic in the most disturbing sense possible. I am fully convinced that e-Readers were invented for the sole purpose of being able to hide all your erotica from your friends.Dennis Cooper scares me, yet The Marbled Swarm was still one of the most interesting novels I've read this year. The Marbled SwarmDNF. Put two stars since I had to, to enter comments.From page one the character's narration is unbelievably pretentious, first off, to the point of very nearly unreadable. I guess that's the (view spoiler)["secret language" he had with his father. It's not a secret language, it reads like gibberish written by a teenager who thinks he's intellectual. (hide spoiler)] I understand that it's part of the character, that he's supposed to be that way (unlike in some books where authors think they're
The book has me at a loss. Layers of story, inside an unreliable narrative, opening out into language, hidden within a secret, artificial tongue that is never used. The book exceeds my ability to comprehend or appreciate it, making any rating I may make pointless.
Actually read 33 pages. I am guessing that the point of this novel is to feel disgusted. Well, success there. This book was recommended to me because I like unreliable narrators and I don't mind reading things that have bad taste. At times. I'm stopping because I hated the tone (I didn't find it amusing or clever), and I don't find reading about cannibalistic pedophiles interesting or amusing. I very much wish I'd read more reviews before borrowing this one. Apparently the main character has sex
For a book that starts off so promisingly, my interest in it crashed spectacularly to the point where i put it down less than 10 pages from the end in protest.
i have never read anything like this before. one of my favorite novels.
