The Largesse of the Sea Maiden by Denis Johnson
The Largesse of the Sea Maiden by Denis Johnson
"Last year the writing world lost Daniel Johnson, one of it's true masters, and this story collection is a potent reminder of why he will be so missed. In these five stories, it seems like there is nothing he can't do, from the title story's moving reflection on aging from an advertising man, that manages to out do Mad Men at its own game, to the hilarious and trippy "The Starlight on Idaho", there is a treat on almost every page. As hard as it is to know that the book is closed on one of the best writers of our time, its is a treat to have him go out on such a high note." - Recommended by Wayne
