The writer sits down with BarryPierce to discuss the George Miles Cycle and the state of transgressive literature

. To read his novels is to gaze into the bleakest depths of humanity and to come out the other side feeling utterly violated. What more could you want? Murder, rape, paedophilia, incest and castration are all constants throughout Cooper’s work and have led him to win praise from transgressive icons such as Kathy Acker and William Burroughs.

“[George Miles] was just so important to me that I thought I should really force myself to deal with this because it’s a very difficult subject for me” – Dennis Cooper DC: Well, there are people doing it but you really have to hunt them down. It’s just not getting very far and not reaching beyond a small group of people. You’d never even get buzz on the internet about it because for promoting that work you’d be attacked for promoting it. It’s not an easy time to be daring.

Hilary Mantel predicts Prince George will never get to be king‘It’s hard to understand the thinking behind the monarchy in the modern world’ She’s right. He’s already too radical. Took an oath of loyalty to the communist party. No - the queen will rule forever. They’re building her an AI that will take over when her corporeal body disappears and will help the royals reclaim dominance over this world (and the next one) She won't be around to find out... which is nice. Because hopefully the so called monarchy won't exist by then.
