'Once Johnson gets his hooks into you - it takes about two sentences - it's...pretty much impossible to stop reading' New York Times Book Review
A brilliant collection of stories narrated by a recovering alcoholic and heroin addict, Jesus' Son offers a disturbing yet eerily beautiful portrayal of American loneliness and hope. Jesus' Son was made into a hit movie starring Billy Crudup and Samantha Morton. 'Johnson is a wizard with words...He describes things with extraordinary precision and pulls off a wonderful trick - as he takes you deeper into the madness and terror, he makes you laugh' Evening Standard 'His work leaves the doors of perception gaping ajar, like the wooden gates to some lost and empty downtown bar' Guardian 'This collection includes some of the most honest and most cruel scenes ever depicted in fiction' - Chuck Palahniuk, author of Fight Club
