ANGELS: A NOVEL
Book ID/图书代码： 11660111B46608
English Summary/英文概要： The most critically acclaimed, and first, of Denis Johnson’s novels, Angels puts Jamie Mays -- a runaway wife toting along two kids -- and Bill Houston -- ex-Navy man, ex-husband, ex-con -- on a Greyhound Bus for a dark, wild ride cross country. Driven by restless souls, bad booze, and desperate needs, Jamie and Bill bounce from bus stations to cheap hotels as they ply the strange, fascinating, and dangerous fringe of American life. Their tickets may say Phoenix, but their inescapable destination is a last stop marked by stunning violence and mind-shattering surprise.
Denis Johnson, known for his portraits of America’s dispossessed, sets off literary pyrotechnics on this highway odyssey, lighting the trek with wit and a personal metaphysics that defiantly takes on the world.
Chinese Summary/中文概要： 本书是丹尼斯•乔森（Denis Johnson）所有作品中最受欢迎的一本，也是第一次这么备受瞩目。该书讲述的是独自带着两个孩子的杰米•梅斯(Jamie Mays)和退役海军比尔•休斯顿（Bill Houston ）乘车横跨国家的疯狂经历。由于心灵的空虚、糟糕的醉酒以及强烈的需求，两人从汽车站一直到廉价旅馆，一直游走在陌生又危险的美国生活边缘。他们的车票也许是到凤凰城的，但是他们真正被带往的却是危机四伏的。
作者最善于的就是对美国的描绘，尽管艰苦，但最终拨开云雾，是明朗的，可谓“费尽心机，用心良苦”。(XJJ)
