  1. 1. Frisk by Dennis Cooper

    The novel explores the darker side of human desires through the eyes of its protagonist, who delves into his disturbing fantasies of violence and sexual aggression. As he recounts his experiences and fantasies in letters to a friend, the narrative blurs the lines between reality and imagination, challenging the reader's perceptions of morality and the limits of human behavior. Set against a backdrop of underground scenes, the book is a provocative exploration of obsession, the nature of evil, and the allure of transgression.
