Dennis Cooper is an American novelist, poet, critic and essayist known for work often categorized as transgressive fiction; his writing frequently engages themes of youth, violence and sexuality.

Has written on music and culture and collaborated with art and rock magazines (the review cites Artforum and Spin). Tutt'orecchi collects interviews and essays addressing 1990s phenomena such as homelessness, HIV among youth, rave culture and alternative rock.

The review covers Dennis Cooper's Tutt'orecchi, a volume of interviews and essays focused on 1990s music and youth culture. It highlights Cooper's investigative pieces on homeless youth, HIV, and rave culture, and notes interviews with figures like Leonardo DiCaprio, Keanu Reeves, Stephen Malkmus, Bob Mould and Courtney Love. The reviewer finds Cooper's style readable and praises specific contributions while suggesting other work may be heavier.

For:Readers interested in music journalism, 1990s culture, transgressive literature, and queer/urban social issues.

 

Cooper competently tackles true investigative journalism, analyzing these phenomena (typical of the Nineties) with an approach that's far from obvious.
