[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) 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
