Denis Johnson Train Dreams

Denis Johnson has style.. He's been into the worst of places, and felt the very murky worlds on him. And you can feel it in his writing. Reading him, I am also reading the architecture of his darkness. He will take you by the hand to experience the walk on the edge of the brutal and the spiritual , and all that with a single character, a 1920 USA Robert Grainer, A pulchritude of brutal, a pulchritude of spiritual and a pulchritude of existential crossovers stylistically knitted in a story of a rather simple life, with just a couple of outstanding twists.
