Rightly calling much of contemporary American literature a "conservative," "spotty" medium, American writer Dennis Cooper's new line of published fiction aims to embrace a wave of younger, alternative written material. What was once labeled "avant-garde" is now dangerously categorized as "radical," and too often, important talent is ignored. Little House On The Bowery will publish two new titles a year; tonight’s West Coast stop introduces some of that talent to curious Cali audiences.

Book Soup says…

Dennis Cooper, Mark Gluth and James Greer present the Little House on the Bowery Series West Coast Tour.

 

"Little House on the Bowery [is] a line of fiction books in the tradition of the young New Directions and Grove Press. Its concentration [is] on younger North American writers who believe that fiction can be as entertaining, challenging, revelatory, and, in a word, important as any other medium." (Dennis Cooper)
