Papierstau Podcast diskutiert in dieser Sonderfolge literarische Perversitäten aus dem Bereich der transgressiven Literatur – wir schwören: Das hier ist Hochkultur! Aber bevor wir uns mit verstümmelungsfreudigen Franzosen, traumaforschenden Lyrikern und erregenden Massenkarambolagen befassen, sprechen wir über das erste Buch aus dem und über den Papierstau-Kosmos: In „Travels With My Mother“ geht es, na klar, um Papierstau-Darling Christian Kracht, und zwar den Autor und den gleichnamigen Protagonisten seines Roman „Eurotrash“. Selbstredend spielen Anika und Robin in Meikes Veröffentlichung auch eine entscheidende Rolle. Wir verraten Details! Dann lernen wir etwas über einen, sagen wir mal, kreativen Fetisch: In J.G. Ballards Technik-Porno „Crash“ träumt eine Gruppe Menschen in einer Welt aus Glas, Stahl und Beton von der sexuellen Verschmelzung mit Autos. Echt jetzt. Zur erotischen Stimulation führen sie Unfälle herbei, begaffen Opfer und bewundern Wunden. Man down, call an ambalambs! Weiter geht’s mit unserem alten Bekannten Dennis Cooper, seines Zeichens Experte für halluzinatorische Textlandschaften voller Sex und Gewalt. In „Mein loser Faden“ flext er sein lyrisches Talent und zeigt traumatisierte Teenager im Schatten des Columbine-Massakers. Verstörend? Lieben wir! Und zu guter Letzt wagt Ex-Katholik Georges Bataille einen Ausflug in den philosophischen Pimmelhumor (ja, das gibt’s!): In seiner Novelle „Die Geschichte des Auges“ beginnt der jugendliche Erzähler eine sexuelle Beziehung mit seiner Cousine, die in Orgien, Wahnsinn und Mord endet.

Today we welcome author, filmmaker, and (retired) performer Christopher Zeischegg for two films by notorious transgressive author Dennis Cooper. Cooper’s queer, graphic, sex- and death-obsessed fiction is disturbing enough on its own. Now he’s ventured twice into filmmaking: first with 2015’s LIKE CATTLE TOWARDS GLOW, a collection of shorts concerned with many of the same violent themes as his written work. Then he switched gears with 2018’s sweeter PERMANENT GREEN LIGHT, about a teenager compelled to literally blow himself up—with a little help from his friends.

Am Tag nach der US-Wahl präsentieren wir euch einen passenden Antitipp: eine papierstaueske Besprechung des Buchs von Melania Trump. Ist das große Kunst oder sind die literarischen Versuche der selbsterklärten Frauenrechtlerin etwa, nanu, Schrott? In ihrem Sachbuchdebüt „Missbrauch, Macht & Medien“ schaut Juliane Löffler laut Untertitel darauf, „Was #MeToo in Deutschland verändert hat“. Dabei berichtet die Journalistin, die vor allem zu sexueller Gewalt und Machtmissbrauch recherchiert, aus ihrer eigenen beruflichen Perspektive und legt dar, welche Auswirkungen die Bewegung sowohl auf mediale als auch gesellschaftliche Diskurse hat. Was, wenn deine sozialen Kontakte sich abwenden, weil du sie wegen deiner chronischen Erkrankung nicht pflegen kannst? Ein Schicksal, das auch Long-COVID-Erkrankte kennen. Selma Kay Matter gibt ihnen in „Muskeln aus Plastik“ eine Stimme. In einer Mischung aus Sachbuch, Essay und Prosa versucht die queere Hauptfigur, ihre Gedanken zu ihrer chronischen Erschöpfung und der eigenen Transition zum Ausdruck zu bringen. Unser letztes Buch für heute bekommt eine eigene Triggerwarnung! In „Die Schlampen“ nimmt Dennis Cooper seine Lesenden mit in eine Internetbubble rund um schwule Escorts. Dort wird auf einem Message Board angeregt über den Star der Szene diskutiert: Brad, so heißt es, ließe alles mit sich machen – und die Kundenwünsche gehen immer weiter ins Extreme. Wir schieben den zerfetzten, blutverschmierten Plot zur Seite und schauen auf die literarischen Qualitäten des Romans.

Title: I Wished Author: Dennis Cooper Narrator: Daniel Henning Format: Unabridged Audiobook Length: 2 hours 35 minutes Release date: September 21, 2021 Genres: Police & Detective Publisher's Summary: 'I started writing books about and for my friend George Miles because whenever I would speak about him honestly like I am doing now I felt a complicated agony beneath my words that talking openly can't handle.' For most of his life, Dennis Cooper believed the person he had loved the most and would always love above all others was George Miles. In his first novel in ten years, Dennis Cooper writes about George Miles, love, loss, addiction, suicide, and how fiction can capture these things, and how it fails to capture them. Candid and powerful, I Wished is a radical work of shifting forms. It includes appearances by Santa Claus, land artist James Turrell, sentient prairie dogs, John Wayne Gacy, Nick Drake, and George, the muse for Cooper's acclaimed novels Closer, Frisk, Try, Guide, and Period, collectively known as 'The George Miles Cycle.' In revisiting the inspiration for the Cycle, Dennis has written a masterwork: the most raw, personal, and haunted book of his career.

Dennis Cooper is on Wake Island! We talk about: Hoarders, escorts & slaves, dark rides, haunted houses, his forthcoming book I Wished , creating a literary monument to George Myles through the medium of devotion, the home as a universe, emotional history, Russian twink porn, Bjork’s meltdown, John Wayne Gacy, disliking objectification, the dying breed of emo escorts, the enduring sadness of Epcot center… Dennis Cooper is best known for The George Miles Cycle, an interconnected sequence of five novels that includes Closer, Frisk, Try, Guide , and Period. His post-George Miles Cycle novels include My Loose Thread, The Sluts and God, Jr. Other works include the short-story collections Wrong and Ugly Man, poetry collections The Dream Police and The Weaklings, as well as the recent Smothered in Hugs: Essays, Interviews, Feedback, and Obituaries.

On the (in)famous author of the George Miles cycle, The Sluts , and many other classic works of radically transgressive gay fiction. Joining Ben to tackle Cooper's work–as challenging to traditional notions of identity-driven and self-consciously pretty gay fiction as it is to the hetero mainstream–is Diarmuid Hester, a radical cultural historian of the United States after 1950, and an authority on sexually dissident literature, art, film, and performance. He is based at the Faculty of English, University of Cambridge, and is the author of the acclaimed new critical biography of Cooper, Wrong . ----more---- SOURCES: Cooper, Dennis. The Sluts .
