The Marbled Swarm

Literary cult hero Dennis Cooper delivers his highly anticipated new novel. Written in a voice that is lush and intricate, *The Marbled Swarm* is Dennis Cooper’s most accomplished (and most beguiling) work to date. Cooper tells the story of a man who secretly influences his son to commit a grisly act. Justin Taylor, author of *The Gospel of Anarchy*, calls *The Marbled Swarm *“a mindbending masterpiece . . . vivid, slippery, ferocious, and rich with secrets. Nobody else could have written this novel and nothing else like it exists.” Cooper, following his collections *Smothered in Hugs* and *Ugly Man*, offers his fans the expansive novel they have been waiting for—one that will become a touchstone of outsider literature.
