Jesus' Son: Stories Denis Johnson
Publisher: Harper Perennial

Denis Johnson's Jesus' Son: Stories (1992), for me, is as close to being high on dope that one can become from merely ingesting words and sentences and paragraphs through one's eyes and, if read aloud, ears.

Starring Billy Crudup, Samantha Morton, 1999. I'll be honest: I don't really like Denis Johnson. Johnson's Jesus' Son is reckless. The stories crash, the characters crash, the language crashes. It all seems so careless, so destitute, so…intense. From JESUS' SON: STORIES, Harper Perennial, 1993.
