Dennis Cooper (born January 10, 1953) is an American novelist, poet, critic, editor and performance artist. He is best known for the George Miles Cycle, a series of five semi-autobiographical novels published between 1989 and 2000 and described by Tony O'Neill "as intense a dissection of human relationships and obsession that modern literature has ever attempted." [1] Cooper is the founder and editor of Little Caesar Magazine, a punk zine, that ran between 1976 and 1982.

Early life

Cooper was born in Pasadena, California and raised in Arcadia, the son of Clifford Cooper, a self-made businessman who was one of the early designers of parts for uncrewed space expeditions. [2] [3] His parents were politically conservative, with his father acting as an advisor to several presidents, including Richard Nixon, with whom he cultivated a close friendship. [2] One of his brothers, Richard, was named after Nixon. [4] Cooper's parents divorced when he was in his early teens. [3] [4] Cooper attended public schools before he started attending Flintridge Preparatory School in high school; he was expelled in 11th grade. [5] [6] He attended Pasadena City College and Pitzer College. [7]

Cooper began reading French literature at 15 and was drawn to Marquis de Sade in particular for his risqué depictions of libertine sex. [8] He was also inspired by French novelists/directors such as Jean Cocteau, Alain Robbe-Grillet, and Marguerite Duras. [9] Though he had started writing surreal stories at age 12, he became a more focused writer at 15 and tried to imitate the writing styles of Arthur Rimbaud and de Sade. [8] [4] He began planning out a five-book series that would later become The George Miles Cycle. [8] Punk subculture was a major part of his twenties. [3] [8] [9] In 1976, Cooper moved to London for a brief period. [10]

Career

Cooper started Little Caesar Magazine in 1976; the punk zine, which ran for 12 issues between 1976 and 1982, featured multimedia contributions from Andy Warhol, David Wojnarowicz, Debbie Harry, Bob Flanagan, and Toby Ross. [10] [3] [11] In 1978, he started Little Caesar Press, which would go on to help establish artists such as Amy Gerstler, Peter Schjeldahl, and Elaine Equi. [11] Cooper published his first book of poetry, Idols, in 1979 and his second, Tenderness of the Wolves, in 1981. [10] [12] Tenderness of Wolves was nominated for a Los Angeles Times Book Prize the same year. [13]

In 1979, he began working as the Director of Programming at the Beyond Baroque Literary Arts Center, where he continued to produce Little Caesar Magazine. [10] [6] He held this position until 1983, [14] when he moved to New York City. [15] Shortly after, he published his first novella, Safe, and became serious about writing the five-book series he had been planning since he was fifteen. [10] [14] He left New York in 1985 to follow a boyfriend to Amsterdam, where he finished Closer, the first book in the George Miles Cycle and Cooper's first novel. [3] [16] To get into the right headspace to write Closer, Cooper regularly took meth. [17] The book later won the very first Ferro-Grumley Award for gay literature. [18] During this time, he supported himself financially by writing for American magazines such as The Advocate , Art in America , and Artforum , the latter eventually taking him on as a regular. [4] [19]

Cooper returned to New York in 1987, where he worked on Frisk and several projects including co-curating an exhibit with Richard Hawkins entitled AGAINST NATURE: A Group Show of Work by Homosexual Men, which was open at the LACE in 1988. [20] [3] Cooper returned to Los Angeles in 1990 and continued collaborating with other artists, including composer John Zorn, painter Lari Pittman, sculptors Jason Meadows and Nayland Blake, and others. [10] [8] [21] [22] He also started the Little House on the Bowery curated imprint, which included works from Travis Jeppesen, Richard Hell, James Greer, Trinie Dalton, Derek McCormack, and others, under the independent publisher Akashic Books. [23] In the 1990s, he wrote for Spin [24] and published Period, the last book in the George Miles Cycle, in 2000. [3] His novel The Sluts won the 2007 Prix Sade award in France [25] and a Lammy. [26]

Cooper moved to Paris in 2005 and has collaborated with French theater director Gisèle Vienne, composers Peter Rehberg and Stephen O'Malley, and the performer Jonathan Capdevielle on six works for the theater, I Apologize (2004), [27] Un Belle Enfant Blonde (2005), [28] Kindertotenlieder (2007), [29] a stage adaption of his novella Jerk (2008), [30] This Is How You Will Disappear (2010), [31] and Last Spring, a Prequel (2011). [32] The Weaklings was published in limited numbers by Fanzine Press in 2008 and was followed by a full-length collection The Weaklings (XL) in 2013. [33] [34]

Since living in France, Cooper has published a number of novels, had a cameo in Christophe Honoré's Homme au Bain , [35] released a book/CD collaboration with Gisèle Vienne and Peter Rehberg, [36] reissued the graphic novel Horror Hospital Unplugged he released with Keith Mayerson in 1997, [37] and curated part of the 2012 Un Nouveau Festival with Gisèle Vienne. [38] In 2012, Kunstverein Amsterdam held CLOSER: The Dennis Cooper Papers, a multimedia exhibit celebrating The George Miles Cycle. [39]

In 2015, Cooper worked with artist Zac Farley to write and direct an anthology of short films titled Like Cattle Towards Glow. [40] The two later collaborated for Permanent Green Light, which premiered in 2018 at the International Film Festival Rotterdam. [41]

Google controversy

In mid-2016, Cooper engaged in a two-month standoff with Google after it deleted his blog [42] and Gmail accounts without warning, due to what the company described as unspecified violations of their terms of use policy. Ten years of Cooper's writings were lost, including a novel. Cooper termed the situation "a nightmare". [43] Cooper's plight attracted media attention, [44] [45] [46] including from The New York Times , [47] The New Yorker , [48] The Guardian , [49] Le Figaro , [50] and Die Welt . [51] Google's attorneys contacted Cooper and after long negotiations, returned his data. [52]

Influence

Cooper's work has been acknowledged as an influence on a number of writers, including Travis Jeppesen, Kay Gabriel, Tony O'Neill, Jackie Ess, Noah Cicero, Shiv Kotecha, Jon Lindsey, Dominic Lyne [53] and Poppy Z. Brite. [54] Cooper's poetry, including the first poem he ever wrote (about David Cassidy) appear in the film Luster as the work of lead character Jackson. [55] American indie rock band Deerhunter, and grindcore act Pig Destroyer have both cited Dennis Cooper as a lyrical influence. [56] Cooper has also influenced a number of artists such as Ryan Trecartin, Jonathan Mayhew, Lizz Brady, Chris Kelso, Daniel Portland, Jared Pappas-Kelley, Ken Baumann, Blair Mastbaum, which he has included in exhibitions such as the Weaklings or who he has showcased over the years. [57] [58] Within his work Cooper is often inspired by and quotes from underground and independent music; as with the lyrics of the band Hüsker Dü in the novel Try, and the naming of the 1992 curated show The Freed Weed, from a compilation by the band Sebadoh, which has been discussed in a number of interviews and analyses. [59] [60]

George Miles Cycle

The cycle has now been translated into 18 foreign languages and is the subject of numerous academic studies. They include two volumes of critical essays devoted to the cycle: Enter at Your Own Risk (2004), edited by Leora Lev, and Dennis Cooper: Writing at the Edge (2008), edited by Paul Hegarty and Danny Kennedy. [61]

In the spring of 2000 Cooper published Period, the last of a series of five novels known as the George Miles cycle (ISBNs refer to the Grove Press paperback editions):

"… [I]n the ninth grade Cooper met his beloved friend George Miles. Miles had deep psychological problems and Cooper took him under his wing. Years later, when Cooper was 30, he had a brief love affair with the 27-year-old Miles. The cycle of books … came later, and were an attempt by Cooper to get to the bottom of both his fascination with sex and violence and his feelings for Miles."
      — 3:AM Magazine , November 2001, "American Psycho: An Interview With Dennis Cooper" by Stephen Lucas [62]

"George in Closer, whose room is full of Disney figures, himself becomes the toy of two forty-year-old men obsessed with the beauty of pain and suffering. In Frisk , an ex-friend is writing Julian letters: reports or fantasies of sex and violence. The description of the sexual murdering of young men is a melange of blood and slippery internal organs, too unappetizing to quote. The letters are being sent from a Holland windmill, in its isolation an ideal place for exploring the raw reality of sex, violence and death."
      — VPRO Television; article in Dutch [63]

In 2021, Cooper published I Wished, a sort of coda of the George Miles Cycle, through Soho Press. [64] According to writer Justin Taylor, the novel is, "a postscript that functions just as handily as an introduction, deconstruction, or reboot." [65]

<span class="mw-page-title-main">Extrasolar planets in fiction</span>

Planets outside of the Solar System have appeared in fiction since at least the 1850s, long before the first real ones were discovered in the 1990s. Most of these fictional planets do not differ significantly from the Earth, and serve only as settings for the narrative. The majority host native lifeforms, sometimes with humans integrated into the ecosystems. Fictional planets that are not Earth-like vary in many different ways. They may have significantly stronger or weaker gravity on their surfaces, or have a particularly hot or cold climate. Both desert planets and ocean planets appear, as do planets with unusual chemical conditions. Various peculiar planetary shapes have been depicted, including flattened, cubic, and toroidal. Some fictional planets exist in multiple-star systems where the orbital mechanics can lead to exotic day–night or seasonal cycles, while others do not orbit any star at all. More fancifully, planets are occasionally portrayed as having sentience, though this is less common than stars receiving the same treatment or a planet's lifeforms having a collective consciousness.

The Laura Shannon Prize in Contemporary European Studies is a $10,000 book prize sponsored by the Nanovic Institute for European Studies at the University of Notre Dame. The Laura Shannon Prize is awarded annually to the author of the "best book in European studies that transcends a focus on any one country, state, or people to stimulate new ways of thinking about contemporary Europe as a whole." "Contemporary" is construed broadly, and books about particular countries or regions have done well in the process so long as there are implications for the remainder of Europe. The prize alternates between the humanities and history/social sciences. Nominations are typically due at the end of January each year and may be made by either authors or publishers. The final jury selects one book as the winner each year and has the discretion to award honorable mentions.
