Long thoughtful essay on Denis Johnson. His FISKADORO is one of my favorite novels of all time, an American RIDDLEY WALKER, but TRAIN DREAMS, the essay's main subject, recently filmed, also makes a fine starting point.

This a gorgeous review of a new bio of Denis Johnson, plus of his complicated (and sometimes terrible) life.

I have an essay about Denis Johnson for @nytimes.com this week.
Wanted to share some of his notes for Train Dreams here, scraps he scribbled down while working out the idea in the late 90s in Idaho.
Here are a few. 1/ thread
