✦ Synopsis


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

Immaginate un tizio al bancone di un bar che, reso ciarliero dal drink che ha in mano, attacca bottone e prende a raccontare di «quella volta che...» Magari perde il filo, magari fa confusione, magari apre mille parentesi, ma le sue parole caotiche hanno il sapore della verità. Jesus' Son è così: un
