Welcome to the Fanzine Store. We are proudly offering the first published work from Fanzine Press, Dennis Cooper's The Weaklings.
A native of Southern California, and born in 1953, Cooper is the author of the critically acclaimed novels Closer, Frisk, Try, Guide, Period, My Loose Thread, The Sluts, God Jr., the short story collection Wrong, and a collection of poetry, The Dream Police. For the past few years he has been living mostly in Paris, France where he has been working on theater productions with Gisele Vienne and maintaining a blog, his current "new project" which garners around 100,000 hits a day from fans and collaborators around the world.
He was recently awarded France's Prix Sade for 2007, an award for writers "going beyond all forms of censure and who [defy] the moral or political order against all forms of intellectual terrorism." He also continues to edit the Little House on the Bowery series of books, an imprint of Akashic books.
We are very pleased to feature this limited edition of Cooper's first collection of poetry in twelve years. It will be the only version containing the fabulous Cooper inspired drawings of Jarrod Anderson. A larger run paperback version is expected sometime in the future, but for those of the devout, you should pre-order this one quick as it won't last long.
Soon after the opening of the theater production Jerk, Dennis came to New York for a reading of The Weaklings at John Connelly Presents on Thursday, March 13th, which was a success (and also a lot of fun, see pics here).
Below is a view of the book, fresh from the press, all 300 received on Valentines. Thanks to Teddy Telles for book photos below, Stan Wolkoff at Masterpiece Printers for such a fine job and coming in on time, Joseph Knight for his design and Alex Kasavin of VOID for the opportunity to do this book, C.M..
