Truly extraordinary
*Scotland on Sunday*
The God I want to believe in has a voice and a sense of humour like
Denis Johnson's

Denis Johnson is inspired, in the truest sense of that once-potent,
even dangerous word.

Writing of a ferocious intensity ... No American novelist since

effort to depict the pathology of addiction.
*New York Times*
Intense, vicious, and beautiful ... Denis Johnson is an exquisite
writer

Modern-day parables that glow with a strange, radioactive light
*The New York Times*
A distinctive turn in the history of the form
*Atlantic Monthly*
A mini masterpiece
