The Sluts
Dennis Cooper
A novel assembled entirely from escort-review forum posts, emails and transcripts, in which the man being reviewed may never have existed. Formally brilliant and genuinely disturbing — it is about how sex workers get narrated by clients, and how quickly a person becomes a story other people tell. Won the Lambda Literary Award in 2005.
