Rendition To Books Jesus' Son

Jesus' Son, the first collection of stories by Denis Johnson, presents a unique, hallucinatory vision of contemporary American life unmatched in power and immediacy and marks a new level of achievement for this acclaimed writer. In their intensity of perception, their neon-lit evocation of a strange world brought uncomfortably close to our own, the stories in Jesus' Son offer a disturbing yet eerily beautiful portrayal of American loneliness and hope.

Judge Containing Books Jesus' Son

I don't usually care for books/stories/movies where drugs are the main topic of conversation but these characters' drug habbits were entirely secondary to their familiarity. There were so many underlinable moments that could've been missed because of the fast/easy pacing. At first I thought "Work" was going to be my favorite but I'm pretty sure "Beverly Home" takes up that spot in the end. Maybe after I pause to catch my breath I'll consider this 4 stars but right now I feel like I've been

And therefore I looked down into the great pity of a persons life on this earth. I dont mean that we all end up dead, thats not the great pity. I mean that he couldnt tell me what he was dreaming, and I couldnt tell him what was real..Imagine, youre driving at sunset on the highway, the speedometer hits 80,90,100. You have a cigarette in your left hand, the tip burns bright as you ash it out the window. Youre surrounded by five friends, two cramped into the front seat the other three in the

Posted at Shelf Inflicted I wasnt sure if I would like this collection of loosely connected stories about a young guy who is addicted to drugs, sometimes homeless, sometimes employed, and occasionally steals. Hes not an especially likable character, but I enjoyed being a part of his thoughts, his views, and his haphazard journey through life. Maybe it's because I have empathy for addicts and others who live on the edge.This powerful and gripping collection of stories was troubling, intense, and

To find Rick Bass's words of praise in the opening pages, speaking about this great 50,000-volt kick thrill of a book, I knew that this would be just the thing to cure my reading inertia. I'd followed a Carson McCullers novel like a dream into the rabbit hole, shrunk and dreamed until This One woke me like a cruel Queen. Consider me awake.Not unlike characters from the early works of McCarthy, the faces that come in and out of focus in Denis Johnson's fictional world are victims of their own

Find all of my reviews at: http://52bookminimum.blogspot.com/ And when it comes to fiction a bigly chunk of my people are drug addicts . . . . Jesus Son has been on my TBR for an age due to the fact that it is considered a modern classic and has appeared on list after list of must reads that I cant ever stop myself from looking at, despite having 11,000,000,000,000 books already waiting for me to get to them. I cant guarantee everyone will love this one due to the aforementioned drug addict

"I could understand how a drowning man might suddenly feel a deep thirst being quenched."Magnificent, concise writing. A calm sort of sad, and strangely relaxing. Stories about people living in the corners of society.Its like Im sitting on the porch of a shack in the middle of nowhere, listening to the saddest old man I know tell me misremembered stories about how shitty he was when he was young.It all feels extremely real, like lives that were lived. The stories are connected, and all share a

A poetic, disorienting book of short fiction about semi-criminals, heroin addicts and idlers squandering their lives on the fringes of urban northern Idaho. The narrator is a study in contrasts: irresponsible, irrational . . . and yet gifted with moments of almost mystical clarity.
