Jesus' Son is a visionary chronicle of dreamers, addicts, and lost souls. These stories tell of spiraling grief and transcendence, of rock bottom and redemption, of getting lost and found and lost again. The raw beauty and careening energy of Denis Johnson's prose has earned this book a place among the classics of twentieth-century American literature.
Recently adapted for the screen, this now-classic collection of ten stories from the author of Resuscitation of a Hanged Man and Angels is narrated by a young man, a recovering alcholic and heroin addict whose dependencies have led him to petty crime, cruelty, betrayal, and various kinds of loss.

Jesus' Son è così: un

“Como olhar Jesus de uma maneira que responda às exigências históricas de nossa época, e a partir de que fontes?” O caminho para responder à pergunta “Quem foi Jesus?” não é dos mais fáceis: a falta de documentação, a imprecisão dos relatos que remontam ao século I e a diversidade de opiniões a
