Jesus' Son

by Denis Johnson

Macmillan Publishers

 

    These are stories of people whom you hope you never meet - narrated by a kindred soul whose difference is that he is continually wounded by the beauty around him. Johnson's prose is strong, honest, lyrical and hypnotic.  You can't turn away from his incredibly moving portraits, like the train wreck that most of these lives are.
