Although a difficult read at times due to the heavy subject matter, I quite enjoyed this little book. It is a series of vignettes seen through a drug addled haze. My favorite story by far was "Emergency," a strange and quietly disarming story. It's also the funniest one in the collection. "Jesus' Son" was my first foray into Johnson's work, and now I'd like to read more by him.
