Sometimes a father's shouts and unintelligible grunting imparts to a child the most valuable form of communication. Dennis Cooper examines this dynamic in his latest novel, The Marbled Swarm, and he'll read it to you, too -- just in case you have no father and have grown accustomed to making artists into your surrogate parents. Of course, passing down language without nuance carries with it inherent pitfalls -- what if a man's son is seized with the notion that Gandhi was the spiritual leader of Indiana? The consequences could be devastating -- and, as fans of Cooper's skewed skewerings have come to know and love -- highly entertaining in a deeply literate, existentially electric way.
