About the book
Jesus' Son
The modern American classic by Denis Johnson—our unmatched chronicler of abjection and grace in the heartland—with a new introduction by Tommy Orange.
One of America’s most iconic books of short stories, Jesus’ Son is Denis Johnson’s compact masterpiece.
These stories tell of getting lost and found, of rock bottom and redemption, of spiraling grief and transcendence. Narrated by a young addict known only as Fuckhead, Jesus’ Son crisscrosses the Midwest and West to encounter fellow travelers of all kinds: sinners, misfits, and criminals; nurses, doctors, and mourners; the damned, forgotten, and abject. They hitchhike and mop floors, burglarize houses and make friends, seduce each other and exhibit drug-seeking behaviors. Here are the alleys, hallways, and back rooms where desperation and vulnerability meet most acutely and life must go on anyway.
Denis Johnson had an eye like no other—an unparalleled ability to see beauty and terror all at once. The unforgettable stories of Jesus’ Son braid brutality with brilliance, testifying not only to the difficulty of everyday life but to the force of language itself.
