Amnesia: A Novel

SHORTLISTED for the WH Smith Award, longlisted for the Commonwealth Prize.

My Novels Reviewed

(From Reviews of Amnesia)

“Amnesia (is a) chilly, chilling first novel…. Its elliptical narrative style recalls works by D.M. Thomas, Paul Auster, Sam Shepard and Vladimir Nabokov…. One gradually comes to appreciate Mr. Cooper’s copious gifts: his ability to manufacture odd, cinematic images; his talent for creating a musically patterned narrative out of repeated symbols and motifs; his willingness to tackle ambitious intellectual themes.”

The Absent Vultures of Tribeca

(This long short story was published in The Adirondack Review, many years before Donald Trump called for the expulsion of Muslims from America.)

ON LABOR DAY the vultures disappeared. Nobody could remember when they had not circled early dawn: Death’s falcons, turning miles above the arid northwest reaches of Tribeca, tethered by scent.

(Writing. Media that was New at the time. Poorly scanned photography. Primitive graphics. Quite proud of this.)
