Tree of Smoke: A Novel
from Picador
Price: $10.88

Customer Review:

I can't resist novels about Vietnam. And this 1997 book had absolutely rave reviews. It even won the National Book Award. Reviewers called it a masterpiece. I just HAD to read it. Now, 702 pages later, I'm sorry I did. This book was just plain awful. And the only satisfaction I got out of slogging... more info

Jesus' Son: Stories
from Picador
Price: $10.40

Customer Review:

Although Denis Johnson's JESUS' SON is often compared to Charles Bukowski, I think this is profoundly unfair to Johnson; he is a far better writer. The two writers feature similar characters in their stories, but Johnson has a gift for language that has seldom been seen. His is the art of the... more info

Angels: A Novel
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:

There was one thing I completely neglected to remember about Bill Houston while reading Mister Johnson's magnificent Tree of Smoke so I read it a second time and there it was again, larger than life: this same dude was already dead by the end of Johnson's first novel. I remember reading Angels years... more info

Already Dead: A California Gothic
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.86

Customer Review:

Denis Johnson gives us, in Already Dead, a fascinating look into the dark side of the human condition. Criminals. Land owners. Drifters. Cops. Three dogs. ...

Fiskadoro
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.05

Customer Review:

What is a culture without a collective memory? When the structures of a society have collapsed what good is information or knowledge? They are useless, according to Denis Johnson's post-apocalyptic novel Fiskadoro. Like most novels set after some great, world destroying event, the characters in... more info

Seek: Reports from the Edges of America & Beyond
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.86

Customer Review:

Johnson is one of those authors whose novels I've picked up at bookstores and skimmed the jackets of countless times, but never reached the point of actually buying. However, this collection of eleven essays caught my attention and I figured I could dip into it for a brief taste of his writing. For... more info

Resuscitation of a Hanged Man
from Harper Perennial
Price: $11.16

Customer Review:

Throughout the book I kept waiting for the book to redeem itself, and that redemption never came. It clearly was trying too hard to be "deep" and postmodern, exemplified by the introduction itself:
"He came there in the off-season. So much was off. All bets were off. The last deal was off. His... more info

The Name of the World: A Novel
from Harper Perennial
Price: $10.36

Customer Review:

It took me months to finish this book. Not because I'd pause to ponder or want to let an emotion roll through me but because I could find nothing valuable in the book. And I looked.
It follows a flat, emotionally shallow protagonist supplemented by a stereotyped, "typical male fantasy" female... more info
