In this story collection, Denis Johnson creates a surreal and macabre world wherein his main character blunders through life, generally making a hash of it and corroding those he touches. Set in Iowa and Seattle (and perhaps Hell), Mr. Johnson infuses the murky, disordered, desperate world of the addict with crackling, electric energy, striking images, and a stark lack of sentimentality that brings an aching verisimilitude to the lives of these unfortunate characters. With attitude and momentum locked in mortal combat, these stories hum, vibrating with both life and death—Mr. Johnson’s is a sad, mean, revelatory, and ultimately transcendent landscape of the human psyche.
