From the press:
"Sharp, funny, evocative."
-Village Voice
"A wholly original novel that's both discomforting and compelling to read."
-San Francisco Chronicle
"The kind of story Anne Tyler might write if she hung out with transgender freak show artists and HIV-postive gay men."
-Time Out New York
"...a self-assured and relentlessly honest debut."
-Barnes & Noble Discover Great New Writers
"Best of the year... [an] outstanding debut."
-The Advocate
"Shine a light on this story and its many facets brilliantly shine back at you."
-Bust Magazine
"A sassy, affectingly earnest first novel."
-Kirkus Reviews
"...worthy of a rock-star welcome."
-ArtVoice (Buffalo)
From T Cooper's family:
"Boy, is that book weird."
-Tobias Cummings, cousin
(San Quentin State Prison inmate #XXX-XXXX)
Author blurbs:
"Who is this T Cooper and where has s/he been? Sweet and sad and funny, with more mirrors of recognition than a carnival funhouse, Some of the Parts is a wholly original love story for our wholly original age."
-Justin Cronin, author of Mary and O'Neil
(2001 PEN/Hemingway Award-Winner)
"In Some of the Parts, T Cooper skillfully twists, entwines and collides generations, gender identities, and sexual orientations so deliciously that I don't think there's anyone who can read this book without ruefully identifying with at least one of the central characters--and without hopelessly falling in love with at least one of the others."
-Kate Bornstein, author of Gender Outlaw
"T Cooper's sense of story and plotting are galvanizing and masterful. She weaves the individual threads of her characters into a single bold, indelible portrait, mining the recesses of their psyches to find unexpected reserves of humor and heartbreak."
-Ken Foster, author of The Kind I'm Likely To Get
"In Some of the Parts, T Cooper has created a masterful, moving geometry of human relationships. She works with a precision of language and a compassion for the lack of precision in life that builds a dazzling suspension bridge of a story. This is a beautiful and important first novel."
-Elizabeth Stark, author of Shy Girl
