Description

Denis Johnson's Train Dreams is a poignant novella that captures the essence of a bygone era in the American West. Set against the backdrop of the early twentieth century, this extraordinary work of fiction tells the story of an ordinary man struggling to make sense of an extraordinary time. As the world around him undergoes radical changes, the protagonist grapples with personal defeats and the loss of his family. Johnson's evocative prose brings to life the rugged landscapes, otherworldly flora and fauna, and the people who inhabited this strange new world. Through its powerful and poignant narrative, Train Dreams poignantly conveys the disappearance of a distinctly American way of life.
