Publisher's Note
Set in a world of secret Web sites, Goth culture, and satanism this black comedy of life on the fringes touches on the many aspects of modern-day America, such as pornography and outsider art as it follows a young man as he disappears into the underworld, in this final addition of the author's five-book cycle, which includes Closer and Frisk. Reprint.

Industry reviews
"As they brutalize and absorb brutality, Cooper's people communicate nothing so much as boredom and exhaustion."
Santella 

"Dennis Cooper's new novel, PERIOD, is a fascinating, intricately crafted jewel of a book. Within this slim volume is packed a cosmos of desire and loss....It's a book one could read over and over and never exhaust. It's confusing, but it's beautiful, perhaps the most original and confounding novel I've read in years....PERIOD doesn't so much end as fly out of our atmosphere and into orbit, ever circling, ever refracting."
Bellamy 

Some readers will throw the book across the room long before the enormities commence, but some of us will read on and take Cooper's books for what they are: a Sadean exercise in outrageousness and exceedingly dark comedy. That said, Cooper is trying for something more. An off-key tenderness seeps into his scenarios, something as close to 'love' as these damned characters get. As the knife goes in, Cooper wants us to believe that even here is human communion."
Harper's - Wilton Barnhardt (02/01/2001)
