Denis Johnson was born in Munich, Germany on July 1, 1949. He received a bachelor's degree and a master's degree from the University of Iowa. He published his first book of poetry, The Man Among the Seals, at the age of 19. However, addictions to alcohol and drugs derailed him and he was in a psychiatric ward at the age of 21. He was sober by the early 1980s. Along with writing several volumes of poetry, Johnson wrote short stories for The New Yorker, Atlantic Monthly, Esquire, Paris Review, and Best American Short Stories. His novels included Angels, Jesus' Son, Resuscitation of a Hanged Man, Already Dead, Nobody Move, Train Dreams, and The Laughing Monsters. He won the National Book Award in 2007 for Tree of Smoke. He also received the Award for Literature from the American Academy of Arts, the Robert Frost Award, and the Library of Congress Prize for American Fiction. He died of liver cancer on May 24, 2017 at the age of 67. (Bowker Author Biography) — biography from Jesus' Son: Stories … (més)

Oakland - The Diesel Readers discuss "Train Dreams" by Denis Johnson

East Bay Booksellers (formerly Diesel, A Bookstore), dilluns, setembre 17, 2012 a les 7pm

Diesel, A Bookstore in Oakland welcomes The Diesel Readers back to the store to discuss Train Dreams by Denis Johnson on Monday, September 17th at 7pm.

Train Dreams tells the story of Robert Grainier, a day laborer in the American West at the start of the twentieth century - an ordinary man in extraordinary times. Buffeted by the loss of his family, Grainer struggles to make sense of this strange new world. As his story unfolds, we witness both his shocking personal defeats and the radical changes that transform America in his lifetime.

This event is free and all are welcome and encouraged to attend!
