May Meeting: Denis Johnson - Jesus' Son

Recommended stories:

• Car Crash While Hitchhiking
• Emergency
• Steady Hands at Seattle General

This has been recommended a few times and come in second on multiple polls, so we're subbing it in for May's collection. It's considered a "modern classic" but probably not going to be a cheery read. Looking forward to discussing it!

For First-Timers: We recommend reading at least one story in the collection, but feel free to read as little or as much as you'd like! Discussion is open, informal, and covers the whole collection, but we try to focus on the recommended stories listed above.

About the collection:
Denis Johnson's now classic story collection Jesus' Son chronicles a wild netherworld of addicts and lost souls, a violent and disordered landscape that encompasses every extreme of American culture. These are stories of transcendence and spiraling grief, of hallucinations and glories, of getting lost and found and lost again.
