A review by jentang
Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson

4.25

calling this collection of stories enjoyable would feel a bit wrong, but nevertheless, to me it was. i read a few of the stories through drooping eyelids sitting in a dark corner of my room since this was required reading for one of my courses, but i genuinely ingested enough to know that this book has reread appeal. about half of the short stories really scratched an itch in my brain. i've had to have gone back to "dirty wedding" about four times by now. as i'm sure i'll have to analyze this book in class later on, this isn't an actual review, just a note on my immediate takeaways.
