A review by yogarshi
Jesus' Son by Denis Johnson

4.0

Denis Johnson collection of short stories is a set of vignettes about men and women who skirt the edges of crime, and the lives they build for themselves. There is a constant undercurrent of despair in all the stories, but also unexpectedly, hope. Most stories leave you wanting more, so unsurprisingly, my favorite was the voyeuristic 'Beverly Home', one of the longer tales in the book.
