Praise for Ugly Man: Stories…

"A disquieting genius."
-Vanity Fair

"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
