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\"--\u003c\/p\u003e\u003ch3\u003eAuthor Biography\u003c\/h3\u003e\u003cp\u003e\u003cb\u003eDennis Cooper\u003c\/b\u003e is the author of the George Miles Cycle, an interconnected sequence of five novels: \u003ci\u003eCloser\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eFrisk\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eTry\u003c\/i\u003e, \u003ci\u003eGuide\u003c\/i\u003e, and \u003ci\u003ePeriod\u003c\/i\u003e.
