Serpents Tail

The brutally frank and daring gay classic from countercultural icon Dennis Cooper

Physically beautiful and strangely passive, George Miles attracts his fellow students with a mysterious promise, like a wallet lying on the street.&nbsp;Closer&nbsp;follows the links of desire that drag George into the arms of boys like John, an artist who deliberately drains his portraits of humanity; Alex, fascinated by splatter films and pornography; and Steve, an underground entrepreneur who turns his parents' garage into a nightclub. Two men in their forties, Tom and Philippe, think they can find reality in the sharp outlines of bones and the bright red of blood. Obsessed with the beauty of death, they see in George the perfect object for their passion.Still shocking after more than two decades,&nbsp;Closer&nbsp;is an unflinchingly provocative exploration of the limits of experience.
