Courtesy of a frankly manipulative author\/narrator named Dennis, these characters and more move through a subterranean Los Angeles where hallucination and reality, sex and suicide, love and indifference run together in terrifying ways. Guide, the fourth novel in a projected five-book cycle, continues to explore the boundaries of experience in the manner that has earned Dennis Cooper comparisons to Poe, Genet, and Baudelaire.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Desierto Books","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":57369464242342,"sku":null,"price":45.0,"currency_code":"USD","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0659\/3465\/5654\/files\/Screenshot2026-09-13at4.20.05PM.png?v=1789341647","url":"https:\/\/249f2c-1b.myshopify.com\/products\/guide-by-dennis-cooper","provider":"DESIERTO BOOKS","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
