American master Denis Johnson's nationally bestselling collection of
blistering and indelible tales about America's outcasts and wanderers**
Denis Johnson's now classic story collection chronicles a wild
netherworld of addicts and lost souls, a violent and disordered
landscape that encompasses every extreme of American culture. These are
stories of transcendence and spiraling grief, of hallucinations and
glories, of getting lost and found and lost again. The insights and
careening energy in Jesus' Son have earned the book a place of its own
among the classics of twentieth-century American literature.
For more than twenty years, Picador has been producing beautifully
packaged literary fiction and nonfiction books from Manhattan's Flatiron
Building. Our Twentieth Anniversary Modern Classics line pairs iconic
books - The Virgin Suicides by Jeffrey Eugenides, Steppenwolf by
Herman Hesse, Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson, and Housekeeping by
Marilynne Robinson - with a design that's both small enough to fit in
your pocket and unique enough to stand out on your bookshelf.
