Mine for Yours: Dennis Cooper / Year by Year | Lynne Sachs: experimental documentary filmmaker

Mine for yours: My favorite fiction, poetry, non-fiction, film, art, and internet of 2019 by Dennis Cooper. Dennis Cooper is an American novelist, poet, critic, editor and performance artist.

Cooper began reading French literature at 15 and was drawn to Marquis de Sade in particular for his risqué depictions of libertine sex. He was also inspired by French novelists/directors such as Jean Cocteau, Alain Robbe-Grillet, and Marguerite Duras. 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. He began planning out a five-book series that would later become The George Miles Cycle. Punk subculture was a major part of his twenties.
