Jesus' Son is a visionary chronicle of dreamers addicts & lost souls These stories tell of spiralling grief & transcendence of rock bottom & redemption of getting lost & found & lost again The narrator of these interlinked stories is a young unnamed man reeling from his addiction to heroin & alcohol his mind at once clouded & made brilliantly lucid by these drugs In the course of his adventures he meets an assortment of people who seem as alienated & confused as he; sinners misfits the lost the damned the desperate & the forgotten Our of their bleak seemingly random lives Denis Johnson creates modern-day parables of a harsh & devastating beauty
