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 Jesus' Son 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. It was
adapted into a critically-praised film in 1999.
