nerdyrev 's review for:
The Largesse of the Sea Maiden: Stories
by Denis Johnson
It has been a few months since I have read this final collection of short stories by Denis Johnson. Johnson’s death has left a void in creative and incredible writing. It is hard to believe this will be the last we hear from him.
This collection is 5 of his last stories and it seems through the stories, he knows his death is coming. The wonderful aspect of Johnson’s writings is that he never paints a perfect or beautiful picture of the world. He promotes life as messy and not neat at all. This collection shows this aspect of life again. Life can be absurd and Johnson points that out wonderfully in this collection.
I gave this one 4 stars
