When Denis Johnson died, last year, much was written about his novels and short stories-the best being Tree of Smoke, his magisterial, National Book Award-winning novel about the Vietnam War, and Jesus’ Son, a series of vignettes about drug addiction and the white working class from a time before they were referred to as such.
