Sometimes the randomness and incoherence can be a little frustrating but most of the time I feel like Denis Johnson is accesses a meaning in absurdity and discontinuity that is beyond expression. This is proving to be a very interesting book. I am finding its later chapters to be a little more uneven than it’s beginning.

This book gets a little bit better every time I read it. What a wonderful feeling.

Okay, the initially disjointed structure has really hit it stride for me now. The fragmented narrative not only simulates the stories depiction of addiction, violence and postmodern ideas around the collapse of objectivity but also allows the story to range very widely with its characters and ideas. So far I’m loving its exploration of how someone can be violent and kind at once’s. It’s a humanistic portrayal.

Great use of easy language and big ideas so far.
