I red that the writer Denis Johnson died . Does anyone have any familiarity with his work ? His best-known book is JESUS'S SON , a book of linked short stories (The title was a metaphor , taken from a song lyric , it was not about Jesus' son , it was set in contemporary times .) .
I would post the NYT's obit , but I think that's sort of difficult for me on this teeny-tiny phone . Since I don't know how to :(...
