A review by littlesophie
Angels, by Denis Johnson
4.0
Not my favourite by Denis Johnson but obviously still a great book. As in most of his oeuvre, the focus is on people on the bottom rung on society, continually going further down, but described with bleak humour and heartbreakingly beautiful prose. He's the master of finding the grandeur of human spirit in squalor and despair, moving and repulsive in the same breath.
