Praise for Ugly Man: Stories…

“Potent and humorous….As always, the need for connection—even if experienced at the level of unspeakable yet intimate violence—as well as the need to expose what lies underneath are Cooper’s main preoccupations.”
-New York Times Book Review

“But even in these moments of intense melancholy, Ugly Man has a lightness that Cooper hasn’t achieved elsewhere. Though the collection deals with topics that are shocking, even abhorrent, it is certainly this highly talented author’s most accessible work to date
-Time Out New York

“Dennis Cooper, God help him, is a born writer”
-William Burroughs

“A disquieting genius.”
-Vanity Fair
