<DIV><DIV>Set largely on the pages of a website where gay male escorts are reviewed by their clients, and told through the postings, emails, and conversations of several dozen unreliable narrators, <i>The Sluts</i> chronicles the evolution of one young escort's date with a satisfied client into a metafiction of pornography, lies, half-truths, and myth. Explicit, shocking, comical, and displaying the author's signature flair for blending structural complexity with direct, stylish, accessible language, <i>The Sluts</i> is Cooper's most transgressive novel since Frisk, and one of his most innovative works of fiction to date.</DIV>
