Train Dreams

Om boken

A contemplative and precise novel charting the upheavals of the twentieth century through the eyes of one ordinary man. Known for his stories of American abjection, Denis Johnson uses the slim space of this work to commit to the sublime: the landscapes of the Pacific Northwest, the integrity of a perfect kiss, the totalizing force of grief. Immense in its impact and exact in its attention, Train Dreams traces the injuries and grace of time itself with a brutal sensitivity only Johnson can offer.
