""A salesman who shared his liquor and steered while sleeping...A Cherokee filled with bourbon...A VW no more than a bubble of hashish fumes, captained by a college student...| And a family from Marshalltown who headonned and killed forever a man driving west out of Bethany, Missouri...".." (from the first line)

An intense collection of interconnected stories that portray life through the eyes of a young man in a small Iowa town, by the author of Angels and Resuscitation of a Hanged Man. Each story''s perception distinguishes Johnson''s hauntingly beautiful vision of American life.
 
Annotation:
An acclaimed collection of hallucinatory linked stories about a young heroin addict/alcoholic in a small Midwestern town.

 

Praise
Nation
"Reading these stories is like reading ticker tape from the subconscious. Johnson's syncopations are unlike any writer's that I know...." - Marianne Wiggins 2/15/93

(unknown)
"Intense, vicious, and beautiful, these stories are fraught with the cutting, purposedly juxtaposed against the too-big sentimentality of the drunk. Denis Johnston is an exquisite writer." - Mary Gaitskill

(unknown)
"Mr. Johnston takes loss through some kind of sound barrier, past which celebrations of joy and destitution appear. For clean line, for deftness, for hard honest comedy there is no better than Denis Johnston." - Padgett Powell

(unknown)
"I read these stories with great thrill...Not since Barry Hannah's 'Wizardry', 'Airships' and 'Captain Maximus', have I been so invigorated by a mix of voice, language, and story. These stories terrify, warn and instruct." - Rick Bass
